Moral Discourse Student Workbook Accompanying Up From Slavery A 21st Century Edition
Stories can be among the best venues for beginning moral discussions - or sharing views on ideas about right and wrong. Booker T. Washington’s true stories enable us to reflect upon the moral realities he faced. They encourage us to discern those things which were good and those that were evil. In grappling with his realities, we naturally begin to make applications to our own lives and culture. The way he made sense of the world was noble and his desires to unite a divided nation often pointed to what he called universal principles that were rooted in the ideas of historical Christianity.
