Remembering a colossus
Listen and celebrate the memory of Booker T. Washington
On Booker T. Washington’s 150th birth
anniversary Legacy Audio Books releases a reading of Washington’s
autobiography to honor his memory.
To honor the memory of Booker T. Washington, one of the most important
emancipated African Americans, Legacy Audio Books has released an audio
book of Washington’s autobiography, “Up From Slavery.”
The core of Washington’s work was dedicated to educating
disenfranchised Blacks in the South and finding ways to unify people of
all races. “Our audio book of ‘Up From Slavery’ will give listeners a
wonderful, accurate account of Washington’s life.”
Born into slavery in the deep south of the United States, Washington
emerged as one of the 19th century’s most recognized leaders, orators
and educators. His life and work remains a source of inspiration not
only for African Americans but also for all Americans. “Up From
Slavery” reflects the thoughts of this great man, who went on to
establish one of the most important schools for African Americans in
the south, the Tuskegee Industrial Institute.
In the impassioned delivery of Barnes, the “Up From Slavery” audio book
brings Washington alive to listeners and drives home the “gems of
wisdom” that he scatters throughout his book. “Up From Slavery” is part
of Legacy Audio Books’ mission to produce high quality audio books of
primarily, but not exclusively, prominent historical figures.
“We seek to honor literary works of great people, and by delivering
outstanding vocal performances, to generate renewed interest in the
authors' message,” says Barnes. “Our audio book of ‘Up From Slavery’
will be sure to spur more people to remember one of the most remarkable
men of this nation, Booker T. Washington, on his 150th birth
anniversary and beyond.”
