Reseña del libro "Up From Slavery - the Classic Autobiography of Booker t. Washington"

Up From Slavery - An Autobiography by Booker T. Washington - In this book, the American author, Booker T. Washington, tells his story how he, a man from the last generation of black American born in slavery, became an educator, orator and advisor to presidents of the United States.: As they went on describing the school, it seemed to me that it must be the greatest place on earth, and not even Heaven presented more attractions for me at that time than did the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia, about which these men were talking. I resolved at once to go to that school, although I had no idea where it was, or how many miles away, or how I was going to reach it; I remembered only that I was on fire constantly with one ambition, and that was to go to Hampton. This thought was with me day and night. I was among the youngest of the students who were in Hampton at the time. Most of the students were men and women—some as old as forty years of age. As I now recall the scene of my first year, I do not believe that one often has the opportunity of coming into contact with three or four hundred men and women who were so tremendously in earnest as these men and women were. Every hour was occupied in study or work.
