Description
I love this version of Frederick Douglass’s life and legacy. Thoroughly engaging, this book offers fascinating details often not highlighted from that time. Primary source excerpts allow us to hear directly from the voices of the day, and the sprinkling of black-and-white photographs, along with drawings of important people, places, and events, bring the issue of slavery, tensions leading to the Civil War, and Lincoln’s role in abolishing slavery to light. 226 pgs, sc.
Publisher's Description of Frederick Douglass: For the Great Family of Man
As a child and as a youth, Frederick Douglass was enslaved, but his
intelligence, his resilient character, and his innate charm, together
with a measure of good fortune, helped him survive. He became a forceful
speaker and persuasive writer and conducted a campaign to abolish
slavery and secure civil rights for his people and for all Americans. He
saw himself as a soldier in a battle for the dignity of the “great
family of man.”
This new biography presents Douglass as he lived through the misery, tragedy, and heartbreak of his early years, as he escaped from slavery only to endure anxiety and outrage in the free states of the North. He eventually made his way to Great Britain, where he lectured forcefully against slavery.
In the United States, as the Civil War began, Douglass recruited young black men to fight and die for their freedom and the freedom of their brothers held in bondage in the South. He became a friend and counselor to presidents, senators, and governors.
