ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Frederick Douglass was the most important African American of the nineteenth century and one of the most significant writers and orators in American history.

Douglass was born a slave and escaped at the age of twenty.

He was Fortunate to have learned to read as a boy, and he would develop this skill forbidden to slaves to become one of the great writers of his era, in addition to becoming the most celebrated orator of the abolition movement.

Over his lifetime he wrote three versions of his autobiography, all pf which are classics of the slave narrative and of American memoir.

This former slave met with Lincoln in the White House and rejoiced in the victory of emancipation.

He saw the promise of Reconstruction sashed by the resistance of former slaveholders and their allies, and he fought this betrayal as ferociously as he had fought slavery itself. As a lecturer he likely reached more listeners than any American of his century, and he lived with a modern dilemma of fame like few others of his era.
