Description

Booker T. Washington was born into slavery on a Virginia plantation and went on to become one of the nation's leading educators whose spiritual and economic wisdom is being reclaimed as a proven path of racial advance. To many, Washington points the way toward prosperity and sophistication - a living example of the power of the gospel in action - a sorely needed quality in today's pop-theological climate of escapism and defeat.

"I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life," Washington observed, "as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed." The obstacles facing Washington were enormous throughout his life, and he focused on learning and educating those who would follow him.
