Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Born into slavery in Maryland, Frederick Douglass became a prominent abolitionist and orator after escaping to freedom in 1838. He learned to read and write as a house servant, which fueled his quest for emancipation. Douglass's powerful speeches led to his employment with the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society, prompting him to write his autobiography to dispel doubts about his past. An advocate for civil rights, he played a key role during the Civil War and held various government positions later in life. Douglass passed away in 1895.
