Chronicling over fifty years of his life, Booker T. Washington tells the tale of going the child of a kitchen slave during the Civil War to founding the Tuskegee University. Inch by inch, bit by bit, Washington pulled himself up, up from the bonds of slavery, from the depths of the salt mines and coal mines until he was a common site at the dinner tables of the nation's most influential and powerful men.
