Booker T’s whole life is a grind so far. Grind through slavery, grinding in the coal mines. Grinding to do a good job for Mrs. Ruffer. This way he could make more money and avoid the coal mines. Grind to get to Hampton. Grind to afford Hampton tuition by working as a Janitor. The amount of discipline this guy had and the way he’s writing his life story is awe inspiring.
