Book Reviews of Up from Slavery (Signet Classics)
Book Review: A great stroy of persistence and patience
Summary: 4 Stars
Washington potrays a resilient and resourceful man in his autobiography, "Up from Slavery." With little formal education as a child, his abilities and outward accomplishments are astounding to read about. Tuskegee being the most well known, but not his only significant achievement.
Stripped to its barest elements, Washington presents a philosophy that those with character and industry will succeed. Despite deep racism and prejudice, persistence in an American form of opportunity can result in success over time, as evidenced by Washington's life.
Washinton makes no excuses and moves forward despite unfair and unreasonable treatment.
