What reading level is The Story of My Life And Work book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Board, however, finally voted to ask some Negro to de- liver an address at the opening of the Exposition. Several names were suggested, but in some man- ner, largely I think due to Mr. Penn, my name was selected by the Board, and in due time I received an official communication from the Pres- ident of the Exposition inviting me to deliver this address. It was the middle of August when I received this invitation. The Exposition was to open on the i8th of September. The papers throughout the ...country began at once discussing the action of the Board of Directors in inviting a Negro to speak, most of the newspaper com- ments, however, being favorable.
The delicacy and responsibility of my position in this matter can be appreciated when it is known that this was the first time in the history of the South that a Negro had been invited to take part on a programme with white Southern peo- ple on any important and national occasion. Our race should not neglect to give due credit to the 132 THE STORY OF MY LIFE AND WORK, courage that these Atlanta men displayed in ex- tending this invitation; but the directors had told the Negroes from the beginning that they would give them fullest and freest opportunity to repre- sent themselves in a creditable manner at every stage of the progress of the Exposition, and from the first day to the last this promise was kept.
