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. His memoir is both a crucial American document and an exercise in understanding the  double consciousness  coined by W.E.B. DuBois, himself one of Washington s most vocal critics.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46717652959390,"sku":"ADS-9781454949992","price":16.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781454949992.jpg?v=1776128375","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781454949992","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
