{"product_id":"up-from-slavery-an-autobiography-9781454949992","title":"Up from Slavery: An Autobiography","description":"Booker T. Washington's famous 1901 memoir, \u003ci\u003eUp From Slavery\u003c\/i\u003e, charts Washington's rise from an enslaved child with a passion for learning to the nation's most prominent Black educator and first president of Tuskegee University. A tireless advocate for Black economic independence, Washington attempted to balance his public acceptance of segregation with behind-the-scenes lobbying against voter disenfranchisement and financing anti-Jim Crow court cases. His memoir is both a crucial American document and an exercise in understanding the \"double consciousness\" coined by W.E.B. DuBois, himself one of Washington's most vocal critics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-7200318\"\u003eBooker T.
