Since Booker T. Washington was slave he worked in a house as a houseboy and a man named James Burroughs was his owner since he was a slave. His life as a slave was hard because he had to do lots of things such as cleaning the yards,or carrying water to the man in the fields. He did runaway and escape but he did’nt get caught. Booker T.
