Working With The Hands is a sequel to Booker T. Washington's famous autobiography, Up From Slavery. In this book, Washington recounts his experiences in industrial training at Tuskegee Institute, a historically black college in Alabama that he founded. He emphasizes the importance of vocational education and the value of learning a trade or skill with one's hands. Washington also discusses the challenges faced by African Americans in the early 20th century, including discrimination and lack of access to educational and economic opportunities. Through his personal anecdotes and reflections, Washington provides insight into the role of education in the advancement of African Americans during a time of great social and political change.
