Booker T. Washington

This is a good book for anyone looking for basic information on Booker T. Washington. The photos are well done, and the text is easy reading for early grade readers. While giving a good summary of Washington's life, including his childhood, this book does not go into the importance of many of his actions such as his speech in Atlanta (the Atlanta Compromise).
