SynopsisNo one connected with the boarding department seemed to have any idea that meals must be served at certain fixed and regular hours, and this was a source of great worry. Everything was so out of joint and so inconvenient that I feel safe in saying that for the first two weeks something was wrong at every meal. Either the meat was not done or had been burnt, or the salt had been left out of the bread, or the tea had been forgotten., This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the original. Due to its age, it may contain imperfections such as marks, notations, marginalia and flawed pages. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions that are true to the original work., Up From Slavery is an autobiographical work by Booker T. Washington, an African American educator and civil rights leader. The book chronicles Washington's life from his childhood as a slave in Virginia to his rise as a prominent figure in American society. Washington describes his experiences with slavery, his education at the Hampton Institute, and his founding of the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. He also discusses his philosophy of racial uplift and his belief in the importance of vocational education for African Americans. Up From Slavery is a powerful and inspiring account of one man's journey from slavery to success, and it remains a classic of African American literature.No one connected with the boarding department seemed to have any idea that meals must be served at certain fixed and regular hours, and this was a source of great worry.
