  "Persuasion" by Jane Austen is a novel set in the early 19th century. The story centers around Anne Elliot, the quiet yet perceptive daughter of Sir Walter Elliot, a vain baronet struggling with financial difficulties and the threat to his social status. The novel delves into themes of love, regret, and societal pressures, particularly through Anne's past romance with Captain Frederick Wentworth, a man without fortune or title whom her family disapproved of. 
  At the beginning of the book, we meet Sir Walter Elliot, who is completely absorbed in his vanity and status as a baronet, while ignoring the significant financial problems threatening their estate, Kellynch Hall. The narrative unfolds the dynamics within the Elliot family, especially highlighting Anne's delicate position, which is overshadowed by her more socially ambitious sisters and overlooked by her father.  
  The opening establishes Anne's sense of duty as well as her longing for a life that truly recognizes her character and feelings, setting the stage for the complex emotional struggles she faces as the story progresses and explores her potential reconnection with Wentworth, who is now a successful naval captain. This sets the foundation for Anne's journey of self-discovery amid the entanglements of family, friendship, and social standings.

  Booker Taliaferro Washington (April 5, 1856 - November 14, 1915) was an American educator, author, orator, and adviser to several presidents of the United States. Between 1890 and 1915, Washington was the dominant leader in the African American community and of the contemporary black elite. Washington was from the last generation of black American leaders born into slavery and became the leading voice of the former slaves and their descendants. They were newly oppressed in the South by disenfranchisement and the Jim Crow discriminatory laws enacted in the post-Reconstruction Southern states in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
  ON INFLUENCING BY EXAMPLE: A few evenings ago, while in Cincinnati, I was very pleasantly surprised after speaking at a large meeting to be invited by a company of young coloured men to attend for a few minutes a reception at their club room.
