Cincinnati, OH (PRWEB) April 7, 2006
To honor the memory of Booker T. Washington, one of the most important emancipated African Americans, Legacy Audio Books has released an audio book of Washingtonâs autobiography, âUp from Slavery.â
The core of Washingtonâs work was dedicated to educating disenfranchised Blacks in the South and finding ways to unify people of all races. âOur audio book of âUp From Slaveryâ will give listeners a wonderful, accurate account of Washingtonâs life.â
Born into slavery in the deep south of the United States, Washington emerged as one of the 19th centuryâs most recognized leaders, orators and educators. His life and work remains a source of inspiration not only for African Americans but also for all Americans. âUp From Slaveryâ reflects the thoughts of this great man, who went on to establish one of the most important schools for African Americans in the south, the Tuskegee Industrial Institute.
In the impassioned delivery of Barnes, the âUp from Slaveryâ audio book brings Washington alive to listeners and drives home the âgems of wisdomâ that he scatters throughout his book. âUp From Slaveryâ is part of Legacy Audio Booksâ mission to produce high quality audio books of primarily, but not exclusively, prominent historical figures.
âWe seek to honor literary works of great people, and by delivering outstanding vocal performances, to generate renewed interest in the authors’ message,â says Barnes. âOur audio book of âUp from Slaveryâ will be sure to spur more people to remember one of the most remarkable men of this nation, Booker T. Washington, on his 150th birth anniversary and beyond.â
