Description: |
Frederick Douglass (1817-1895) was born into slavery by a slave mother and an unknown father. At the age of eight, he started to educate himself with the help of his master's wife. In 1838, he fled Baltimore for the north. There he soon became a noted author and speaker on slavery. |
Synopsis: |
My Bondage and My Freedom is the second of three published autobiographies from one of the most brilliant and eloquent abolitionists and human rights activists in American history. The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave was published ten years before in 1845, while The Life and Times of Frederick Douglass was published twenty-five years later. |
