salut à tous j'ai une biographie à faire sur Booker T Washington et j'aimerais que vous me donniez votre avis et que vous me corrigez
merci d'avance 

I was born a slave in 1856 on a plantation in Franklin County, Virginia. I was raised by my mother and I Know very little of my father. I do not even know his name. I have heard that he was a white man who lived on one of the nearby plantations. I have always been attracting by book, and I didn't understand why I couldn't go to school. It was illegal for a slave to learn, to read and write. That why during my early childhood I didn't receive any education.
In 1962 Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation. I was therefore allowed to go to school but in the same time I couldn't let my mother work alone so after an exhausting day of work, I used my free times at school.
At the age of 16 I decided to go to Hampton institute which was a school to train black teachers. After passed my General Certificate of Education with distinction I had taught in many school and later I have been recommended as the principal of a new school called Tuskegee Institute, in Alabama.
In the late 19th and the early 20th century, I devoted myself to the defense of the rights of the black ones. I wanted blacks and whites to have the same right and to mix themselves socially. I rose up from slavery to become the foremost educator and a leader for all my people.
