Frederick Douglass

A very interesting book, well-worth reading. I had already read his autobiography, The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass followed by his New York speech before reading this book. I'm glad I've read these books in this order to gain the maximum benefit. I most remarkable man who must never be forgotten.

This brief retelling of the life of Frederick Douglass shed light into his impact and accomplishments. I’m at a loss as to why his life isn’t taught more broadly. He was born into slavery and at his death mourned by nations. He was a trailblazer on so many fronts. Absolutely recommend this book. It has opened my eyes to a history that I need to more deeply explore.

Very good book about the success of a former slave and all the help he received. A book about goals, hard work and determination.

This story is an important book on the life of black slaves. His father who is white did not save him from becoming a slave.

I enjoyed this book written some 120 years ago. This book helps cement the foundation of the respect I have for Black Americans who despite slavery kept a strong moral compass and not only endured but also rose to be admirable, respectable human beings.
