Booker T. Washington was born into slavery in Franklin County, Virginia--the illegitimate son of a white man and a black woman.

Washington graduated from the Hampton Institute, founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, and travelled and lectured extensively. His autobiography is very detailed throughout, covering his childhood memories, his struggles as a student, his presidency at Tuskegee, and the pride of his race.
