OrangeReviewStarNational icon of the abolitionist movement, persuasive orator and author of three autobiographies, escaped slave whose former master apologized on his death bed, tireless crusader for civil rights for both women and men, hobnobber with presidents, Frederick Douglass stands as tall as the Statue of Liberty in our nation's history. This engrossing account draws on Douglass's words and includes brief background essays, character cameos, and source list.
