Character Building
Booker T. Washington
Leído por Luke Sartor
Character Building is a compilation of speeches, given by Mr. Booker T. Washington, to the students and staff of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now known as Tuskegee University).
Booker T. Washington was one of the most prominent leaders in advancing African-American civil rights. Born into slavery and freed as a young boy, he rose through the ranks of education to eventually earn his position as principal of Tuskegee. Under his guidance, the school was built, by students and for students, to give them a deeply meaningful education. Mr. Washington stressed the importance of developing oneself for life-long success. He strove to imbue in his students the highest personal standards, and these speeches represent the core messages he gave.

The author no doubt knew what suffering was having been born into slavery. However he came to an uncommon conclusion about how to overcome the injustice of his time. Get an education, forgive those who didn't deserve it and set about improving the world. The collection of speeches may have been intended for students, but I found myself captivated by the truths and values delivered. Excellent reading with authentic Australian crickets occasionally heard in the background, thought they were in my house while listening.
