My 1923 copy of Up From Slavery, the autobiography of Booker T. Washington, published in 1900. Such a treasure! Washington was the founder of Tuskegee (Institute) University and an incredible man. “Through progress at Tuskegee, Washington showed that an oppressed people could advance. His concept of practical education was a contribution to the general field of education.”

I enjoy old books. We have some books that belong to my mother-in-law and probably some from her mom. I may look at our book collection and see what our oldest book might be.
