Washington's subtle humor, even in a distinguished history of his rags-to-riches story, he manages to place puns and plays on words/phrases
enjoyed this as well. I gravitated towards his idea of intelligence as a possession. Slaves were oppressed for so long that they...
understood the value of an education. And they didn't take the simplicity of possessing their own thought for granted. WHAT RHETORIC!!!
Washington surely solidified his every argument by thorough syntax. He shows that he is in full possession of his own intelligence.
