Character Building Being Addresses Delivered on Sunday Evenings to the Students of Tuskegee Institute

"Character Building" by Booker T. Washington is a series of heartfelt speeches for the students at Tuskegee Institute. It’s all about growing into a good person by taking charge of your life, looking on the bright side, and doing what’s right. The book kicks off with Washington's Sunday night talks, where he wanted to grow strong morals and personal strength within the students at Tuskegee Institute. He starts off by comparing the good and bad things in life and tells students they should always try to be positive, no matter how hard the challenge. Washington also emphasizes the need to see and be thankful for the good things while pushing his listeners to also be positive to others. The lectures focus on teaching readers resilience, hard work, and being honest so that they can be great role models within their communities.
