He was born in a Virginia cabin, walked most of the way to Hampton to get an education, and built Tuskegee out of a shed and a mortgage. Jackson tells it plainly for young readers: the boy who worked salt furnaces and coal mines by day and studied at night, and the man who became the most powerful Black American of his age.
