Up from Slavery is the 1901 autobiography of American educator Booker T. Washington (1856-1915).The book describes his experience of working to rise up from being enslaved as a child during the Civil War, the obstacles he overcame to get an education at the new Hampton Institute, and his work establishing vocational schools like the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama to help black people and other persecuted people of colour learn useful, marketable skills and work to pull themselves, as a race, up by the bootstraps.He reflects on the generosity of teachers and philanthropists who helped educate black and Native Americans. He describes his efforts to instill manners, breeding, health, and dignity in students.

Booker Taliaferro Washington (April 5, 1856 — 3 November 14, 1915) was an American educator, author, orator, and adviser to several presidents of the United States. Between 1890 and 1915, Washington was the dominant leader in the African American community and of the contemporary black elite.Washington was from the last generation of black American leaders born into slavery and became the leading voice of the former slaves and their descendants. They were newly oppressed in the South by disenfranchisement and the Jim Crow discriminatory laws enacted in the post-Reconstruction southern states in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
