Nineteenth-century African American businessman, activist, and

educator Booker Taliaferro Washington's Up from Slavery is one of

the greatest American autobiographies ever written. Its mantras of

black economic empowerment, land ownership, and self-help inspired

generations of black leaders, including Marcus Garvey, Elijah

Muhammad, Malcolm X, and Louis Farrakhan. In rags-to-riches

fashion, Washington recounts his ascendance from early life as a

mulatto slave in Virginia to a 34-year term as president of the

influential, agriculturally based Tuskegee Institute in Alabama.

From that position, Washington reigned as the most important leader

of his people, with slogans like "cast down your buckets," which

emphasized vocational merit rather than the academic and political

excellence championed by his contemporary rival W.E.B. Du Bois.

Though many considered him too accommodating to segregationists,

Washington, as he said in his historic "Atlanta Compromise" speech

of 1895, believed that "political agitation alone would not save

[the Negro]," and that "property, industry, skill, intelligence,

and character" would prove necessary to black Americans' success.

The potency of his philosophies are alive today in the nationalist

and conservative camps that compose the complex quilt of black

American society. --This text refers to an out of print or
