UP FROM SLAVERY (Intro, Chapter 1) by Booker T. Washington

UP FROM SLAVERY (Chapter 7) by Booker T. Washington
I reached Tuskegee, as I have said, early in June, 1881. The first month I spent in finding accommodations for the school, and in travelling through Alabama, examining ... the ... life of the people, ... I ate and slept with the people, in their little cabins. I saw their farms, their schools, their churches.

As I have stated, it was a whole race trying to go to school. Few were too young, and none too old, to make the attempt to learn.
UP FROM SLAVERY (Chapter 17) by Booker T. Washington
During the next half-century and more, my race must continue passing through the severe American crucible. We are to be tested in our patience, our forbearance, our perseverance, our power to endure wrong, to withstand temptations, to economize, to acquire and use skill; in our ability to compete, to succeed in commerce, to disregard the superficial for the real, the appearance for the substance, to be great and yet small, learned and yet simple, high and yet the servant of all.
