“Up from Slavery” is available to be read online or downloaded FOR FREE along with many other classics. Bill has mentioned that title several times as one of his favorites, and Scott, Steve and Bill all mentioned the classics in the following Right Angle:

This website is a truly incredible resource. Here you go…https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/2376.
They didn’t have one of Scott’s favorites, “The Grapes of Wrath.” Here is another link to that…

Great, thank you.
Thanks for the resource. I made a note of several that I want to read or re-read. Somehow I think I will appreciate some of these more in my 50s than I did in my teens.
You’re welcome. Same here as far as appreciating them more now, though I wonder about works like Dickens’s “Great Expectations.” Labored through that in high school and cursed Dickens often for being paid by the word.
Read the first chapter of “Up from Slavery” late last night. I could literally spend all day every day on the Internet and YouTube. Classics. Lectures on quantum biology. All sorts of history. Literally no excuse for lack of education these days. Guys like Lincoln and Frederick Douglass used to walk miles just to obtain and read a book.
I had posted some links on this site recently to some really good shorts including Harrison Bergeron, The Last Question, 9 Billion Names of God. There are quite a few out there that are posted free.
Yea, when Ronette was reading Great Expectations, I thought I’d read it with her. It was still weird and not very uplifting. Somber, I’d say.
I found my old paperback of Huck Finn. Think I will read that soon as well. Going to try Grapes of Wrath and Of Mice and Men first.
I wonder how many people know that Booker’s father was a white man whom he said “he never knew.” Look it up.
I will. I wonder how many people know that Strom Thurmond had a black daughter whom he supported all her life.
Thank you for the info. This crowdsharing of information via websites and YouTube is anathema to the controlling left and, in my opinion, will be their downfall. Past generations couldn’t do this.
