Book Review: "The Future of the American Negro"

This is the seventh book of Booker T. Washington’s that I have read from cover-to-cover.

I have offered my insights into each with “Press Reviews of the Day,” selected excerpts from each book, and finally, my own thoughts. A chronological listing of Booker T. Washington’s books along with links to their individual reviews is published on this website: Booker T. Washington’s Home Page.

The book being reviewed on this page, “The Future of the American Negro,” is the first book that Booker T. Washington published. The first release was in late 1899 and then republished in 1900–02.

Interestingly, the title of the last article published by Booker T. Washington was “The Future of the Negro.” This article was written during his last illness—with many delays and interruptions, and it was only finally published in late 1915 at the time of his death.
