The autobiographyUp From Slaveryis all about the upward mobility managed by Booker T. Washington though born in serfdom. In it, he has outlined his progression to success from slavery by means of freedom and education. Once free and famous, his looking back at the people of his own racethe Blacks in Americafor their upliftment is sketched strongly in this life-story book of his. He was all vocal for giving access to industrial education to the AfricanAmericans. for which, he opened Tuskegree Normal and Industrial Institute because he believed all other rights to the Blacks would follow on gaining industrial education and moral strength. This story is a goodread to gain insight into the strategies adopted by the author for his social rise and also of his race by managing the race relation between the Black and White people.
