In his 1901 autobiography, Up from Slavery, Booker T. Washington chronicles his personal experiences as he rose from a slave child emancipated at age nine to the obstacles and difficulties he overcame to attend Hampton University and become the leader of the Tuskegee Institute. He recalls the generosity of teachers and of philanthropists such as the leaders of Standard Oil, Kodak, and Sears in helping blacks and Native Americans get an education. He emphasizes the importance of instilling self-esteem, manners, and good health in his students and the virtue of combining academics with practical knowledge of a trade.

Up From Slavery was serialized by The Outlook, a Christian newspaper, in 1900 before publication in book form in 1901. It became a best seller and the most popular African American autobiography before that of Malcolm X. It was listed by the Modern Library at No. 3 on its 1998 list of the 100 Best Non-Fiction Books of the 20^th Century.
