Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass:
http://gbgm-umc.org/umw/bible/slavery.html I have always found it particularly tragic that Douglass died around 1892 or so, and blacks were less free in the 1890's under Jim Crow than they had been in 1867 right after slavery.
Thank you. I'd heard of the man, but wasn't aware that he was such a powerful rhetorician.
