Summary "The Story of My Life and Work" by Booker T. Washington is an autobiographical account written in the late 19th century. This work captures the transformative journey of Washington, who rose from the shackles of slavery to become a leading educator and advocate for African American education and self-improvement. The narrative delves into his personal experiences, including his childhood, his education at institutions like Hampton Institute, and his establishment of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, emphasizing the significance of industrial education for the African American community. The opening of the autobiography describes Washington's early life as a child of enslaved parents, detailing the struggles and hardships they faced. It starts with his mother's determination for freedom and self-improvement despite the constraints of slavery. Washington reflects on his formative years spent in Virginia, then moving to West Virginia after the Civil War. He shares poignant memories of his mother's influence, their journey to freedom, and his early ambitions that were ignited by encounters with education. This foundational section sets the stage for his mission to uplift his race through education and hard work, themes that dominate the rest of his life story.
