These books by Booker T. Washington were published at the turn of the 20th Century. I read "Up From Slavery" because Julius Rosenwald wrote that it was one of two books that most affected his life. There was no going back after reading this wonderful autobiography. The name of Julius Rosenwald of Sears & Roebuck is mentioned in several of these books, including being on the Board of Directors for the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute.

While I was pondering how to start off these reviews of American classics that I had not read before, I saw an article entitled, "Be the design you want to see in the world." I thought to myself that this idea summarizes the goal and the life of Booker T. Washington better than anything I would ever come up with. He lived the life that he wanted to see in others in this world. He reveals himself to the ages through his multitude of books.

He accomplished what he wrote, "The individual who can do something that the world wants done will, in the end, make his way regardless of his race."
