Booker T. Washington’s 1901 autobiography can be read as a redemption story echoing many similar voices of its time. Starting from the humiliation he experienced as a slave, he ponders the meaning of identity in a situation that seeks to dehumanize. He furthers his story by expanding on his difficulties in obtaining an education and the need for change in our minds as well as societal structures.

The great human law that in the end recognizes and rewards merit is everlasting and universal.

The above quote from the closing of the book, shows the optimism and wisdom of this great man who was born a slave and through hard work and determination, became educated, started the Tuskegee institute in the heart of the south and became one of the most loved and admired men of his era. Admired by men and women of "both races" in the north and the south.
It interesting to see how he dealt with significant hardships and obstacles and maintained a possitive outlook, while describing conditions that are unimaginable today.
