Book Synopsis With Books and Bricks by : Suzanne Slade
Book excerpt: 2016-2017 Young Hoosier Book Award Intermediate Nominee Booker T. Washington had an incredible passion for learning. Born a slave, he taught himself to read. When the Civil War ended, Booker finally fulfilled his dream of attending school. After graduation, he was invited to teach in Tuskegee, Alabama. Finding many eager students but no school, Booker set out to build his own school—brick by brick. An afterword gives detailed information on how the school was built.
