Fifty Cents and a Dream

In a different tone of slavery is a story of the faith and hope that many slaves had.  This biography of Booker T. Washington was beautifully illustrated but the story wasn't one that I wanted to read over and over.  There are a lot of good teaching points and a great deal of content about character of a man that can be taught from this book.  Booker T Washington was incredibly determined as evidenced in this book.  He overcame more than many other men and is a great symbol of endurance and believing in yourself and following your dreams.  What he did to follow his dream was certainly a great feat and that alone should be shared, especially with those that feel like they can't ever make anything of themselves.
