List at least two ways Booker T. Washington demonstrated perseverance in his life.

"Booker" (the only name he had as a slave) decided early on that the key to life was a good education.

Booker was nine when slavery ended. His stepfather insisted that he work in a salt mine to help support the family. But Booker wanted to go to school, so he figured out a way to do both. He worked at the mine from 4 to 9 am in the morning, then went to school, and returned to the mine to work from 2 in the afternoon to 9 at night. A 12 hour workday PLUS school!

When he was 12, he heard about Hampton Institute, where he could continue his education. Even though it was 500 miles away, he talked his mother into letting him go. Then, he ran out of money halfway there. So, he walked over 200 miles to get there.

That's perseverance
