I think that the most inspiring part of Up from Slavery, an Autobiography by Booker T. Washington, was that Washington was in slavery for a long time and after he was out of it, he went to Hampton Institute (Now Hampton University.) This should make people want to go to college. If a black man that had very little education until he was a teenager and was in slavery for a long time, went to Hampton Institute at the age of 16, we should be able to go to college. One of the great things about him going to Hampton Institute was that he only had 50 cents when he got there. He didn’t have to pay as much money as the other students, because he was like a janitor while he was there. He worked in exchange for being educated there. He was a hard worker.
