Robert Moton Robert Moton (1867-1940) was born just after Emancipation to former slaves. He gained a high level of education at the Hampton Institute, a military style school. Moton, like many other members of his race, had been concerned that he would not be able to prove to the world that blacks were indeed justified in their emancipation, that they could take up their place as productive citizens. He was also concerned about misunderstandings due to cultural differences. Consequently, Moton used every opportunity to identify the distinctive attributes of various races, such as native Americans, Europeans and Asians. His memoir, Finding a Way Out, discusses these and many other matters that illuminate the diverse and complex culture of American life. Finding a Way Out More information on Finding a Way Out |
