Finding a Way Out: An Autobiography
'Finding a Way Out: An Autobiography' Summary
Robert R. Moton's autobiography, Finding a Way Out, is a powerful and moving account of his life and work as an African American educator and civil rights leader. Born into slavery in Virginia in 1867, Moton went on to become the president of Tuskegee Institute, a historically black college founded by Booker T. Washington. In his autobiography, Moton recounts his experiences growing up in the Jim Crow South, his education at Hampton Institute and Harvard University, and his work as an educator and civil rights activist. Moton's autobiography is much more than a personal narrative. It is also a valuable historical document that provides insights into the lives of African Americans during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Moton writes about the challenges he faced as a black man in a white-dominated society, and he also describes the progress that was made during his lifetime. Moton's autobiography is an inspiring story of hope and resilience, and it is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the history of race relations in the United States.Book Details
