Written ten years after his legal emancipation, this book catapulted Frederick Douglass into the international spotlight as a leading spokesperson for American blacks, both freed and in slavery.
Frederick Douglass was born into slavery in 1818, and after his escape in 1838 repeatedly risked his own freedom as an antislavery speaker, writer and publisher. John David Smith is Distinguished Professor of History and Director of the Masters in Public History Program at North Carolina State University.
