The story of an enslaved African American. Booker T. Washington was an author, an educator, an orator and political leader, and one of history's most influential African Americans. One if his more remembered quotes is: “Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.” He titled his autobiography Up from Slavery.

Editorial reviews

J. D. Streeter gives a lively performance in this journey to the Booker T. Washington National Monument in Hardy, Virginia, which is located on the tobacco plantation where its namesake was born into slavery in 1856. Travel journalist Patricia L. Lawrence visits a national park service ranger to learn more about Washington, who was one of America’s foremost African American educators. She captures live audio, and her inquisitive manner and calm voice allows the material to unfold organically, as if the listener was walking alongside on a park trail.
