Booker T. Washington 
An Autobiography – The Story of My Life and Work 

Mr. Washington, more than any other writer or lecturer, has solved the ’race problem.’ The historical value of the book, and its uplifting influence give ”The Story Of My Life And Work” a prominent place in modern literature. It is a volume for the family library along with the Life of Franklin, Emerson’s Essays and the great autobiographies. There is no greaterstimulus for self-help, for Mr. Washington forged his way to the front by his own efforts.
