Institutional Slavery
Author: Jennifer OastPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1316495450
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
The traditional image of slavery begins with a master and a slave. However, not all slaves had traditional masters; some were owned instead by institutions, such as church congregations, schools, colleges, and businesses. This practice was pervasive in early Virginia; its educational, religious, and philanthropic institutions were literally built on the backs of slaves. Virginia's first industrial economy was also developed with the skilled labor of African American slaves. This book focuses on institutional slavery in Virginia as it was practiced by the Anglican and Presbyterian churches, free schools, and four universities: the College of William and Mary, Hampden-Sydney College, the University of Virginia, and Hollins College. It also examines the use of slave labor by businesses and the Commonwealth of Virginia in industrial endeavors. This is not only an account of how institutions used slavery to further their missions, but also of the slaves who belonged to institutions.

Up From Slavery: The Incredible Life Story of Booker T. Washington
Author: Booker T. WashingtonPublisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
Booker T. Washington's autobiographical work, 'Up From Slavery: The Incredible Life Story of Booker T. Washington,' is a compelling account of his journey from slavery to becoming one of the most influential African American leaders in American history. Written in a straightforward and persuasive tone, Washington's narrative provides a firsthand look at the harsh realities of slavery, as well as his determination to pursue education and uplift his race. The book reflects Washington's belief in vocational education as a means for African Americans to achieve economic independence and social equality, a philosophy that sparked debate within the Civil Rights movement. It also underscores the importance of self-reliance and hard work in overcoming adversity. Washington's engaging storytelling style, combined with his insightful reflections on race relations, make 'Up From Slavery' a valuable literary work and historical document. I recommend this book to readers interested in African American history, education, and the Civil Rights movement, as well as those seeking inspiration from a remarkable life story of resilience and perseverance.
