This book contains both classics by Booker T. Washington and Frederick Douglass, both men who were born slaves but became world-renowned thinkers and educators in their time. The Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass was published eighteen years before the abolition of slavery in the United States, and describes the immense efforts Frederick Douglass went through to educate himself, free himself, and then work to free the rest of his country. Booker T. Washington's account, on the other hand, describes the tremendous task of building up the Tuskegee Institute, quite literally brick by brick, after Emancipation. The two books complement one another tremendously, each giving the other a sense of perspective and context.
