Three African-American Classics: Up from Slavery The Souls of Black Folk and Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass

By Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, W. E. B. Du Bois

"Up from Slavery Booker T. Washington's Up from Slavery recounts his rise from enslavement to becoming a prominent educator and advocate for racial progress. He emphasizes self-reliance, education, and economic development as paths to uplift African Americans, though his gradualist approach faced criticism for accommodating systemic racism. The Souls of Black Folk W. E. B. Du Bois's The Souls of Black Folk critiques Washington's strategies, advocating for higher education and civil rights activism. Through essays on identity and systemic inequality, Du Bois calls for leadership by a ""Talented Tenth"" to challenge racial oppression and achieve justice. Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass Frederick Douglass's Narrative offers a vivid account of his life as an enslaved man and his escape to freedom. It exposes the brutality of slavery while showcasing the power of literacy and self-determination, inspiring a call to action for equality and human rights."
