Washington's famous 1901 memoir, Up From Slavery, charts Washington's rise from an enslaved child with a passion for learning to the nation's most prominent Black educator and first president of Tuskegee University. A tireless advocate for Black economic independence, Washington attempted to balance his public acceptance of segregation with behind-the-scenes lobbying against voter disenfranchisement and financing anti-Jim Crow court cases.

DuBois, himself one of Washington's most vocal critics. �\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45461256667357,"sku":"9781454949992","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/files\/9781454949992.jpg?v=1720026284","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781454949992","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
