- Résumé : "Up from Slavery" is an autobiographical account by Booker T. Washington, detailing his life from his early years as a slave to his rise as a prominent African American leader and educator. Born in Franklin County, Virginia, Washington's early life was marked by the harsh realities of slavery, including living in a small log cabin with his family and working from a young age. Despite these challenges, he developed a strong desire for education, which was initially self-taught through a spelling book. After the Emancipation Proclamation, Washington's family moved to West Virginia, where he continued to pursue education while working in salt furnaces. His determination led him to attend the Hampton Institute, where he excelled and later became a teacher. Washington's narrative highlights the struggles and triumphs of African Americans during the Reconstruction era, emphasizing the importance of education and self-reliance. He founded the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, focusing on vocational training and practical skills for African Americans. Washington's philosophy of racial uplift through education and economic progress, rather than direct confrontation, was both influential and controversial. His work at Tuskegee and his public speaking efforts made him a national figure, advocating for the advancement of African Americans in a post-slavery society.
- Biographie : Booker Taliaferro Washington (April 5, 1856 - 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.
