布克·T·华盛顿：力争上游·摘录 76
布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导
During the time that I was a student at Hampton my older brother, John, not only assisted me all that he could, but worked all of the time in the coal-mines in order to support the family. He willingly neglected his own education that he might help me. It was my earnest wish to help him to prepare to enter Hampton, and to save money to assist him in his expenses there. Both of these objects I was successful in accomplishing. In three years my brother finished the course at Hampton, and he is now holding the important position of Superintendent of Industries at Tuskegee. When he returned from Hampton, we both combined our efforts and savings to send our adopted brother, James, through the Hampton Institute. This we succeeded in doing, and he is now the postmaster at the Tuskegee Institute. The year 1877, which was my second year of teaching in Malden, I spent very much as I did the first.

白话
华盛顿在汉普顿读书时，哥哥约翰全力支持他，自己一直在煤矿干活养家，甘愿放弃受教育的机会。华盛顿决心帮哥哥备考汉普顿并攒钱，三年后哥哥完成学业，后来成为塔斯基吉学院的工业主管。哥哥回来后，两人又合力把养兄弟詹姆斯送进汉普顿，詹姆斯后来做了塔斯基吉学院的邮政局长。这体现了一种家庭接力：先集中资源培养一个人，再让这个人回头拉其他人。做法是明确目标、共同储蓄、轮流支持，而不是各顾各的。
上下文
华盛顿在《超越奴役》中讲述家人如何互相扶持求学，时间大约在1870年代。
