UP FROM SLAVERY
Booker T. Washington
Read by Andrew L. Barnes
"This production offers an exemplary life in sound, with
an outstanding reading by Andrew L. Barnes revealing Booker
T. Washington as a sagacious American leader by any standard.
From the first sentence to the last, Barnes's deep, expressive
tones mold Washington's autobiography with a warm, stentorian
resonance. In crisp and uncompromising style UP FROM SLAVERY
presents a true historical overview of a period of intense cultural
and racial change in our country. Washington's wit and humility
shine throughout the recording, offering an unvarnished account
that can serve as a fine educational tool for schools, libraries, and students of American
history and African-American culture. Barnes is a patient, thoughtful
reader-his gifts make this a memorable listen."
