He was born a slave on a plantation in Virginia. Right from a young age, he had an intense longing to learn and to read. His determination to educate himself at all costs carried him—despite all apprehensions and hardships—from the salt furnaces and coal mines of Malden to the hallowed portals of the Hampton Institute. He displayed this same single-mindedness and never-give-up attitude, later, in his repeated attempts at brick-making at the Tuskegee Institute.
Booker performed all tasks with scrupulousness—a trait he cultivated at Mrs Ruffners, and later used to gain entry into the Hampton Institute. After graduating, he literally worked day and night to teach others at Malden, at Hampton and at Tuskegee. He showed this same dedication in getting his brothers educated. He acquired a good reputation as a speaker after the campaign for Charleston. However, he did not opt for individual success by joining politics. This he did out of an unselfish sense of duty towards the upliftment of his race.
Booker moulded his outlook towards life and work by choosing for himself great men and women as role models. As a teacher and a public speaker, he looked to impart to others the values he had imbibed from these great individuals.

He was also sent to Hampton .Later he worked for Tuskegee Institute and held the important position of Superintendent of Industries.
When his mother died, Washington in a deserted house at three O'clock in the morning and gave him the sad news .his sacrifice for the members of his family is really praiseworthly.
