Memoir
Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
About this book
In his first autobiography, Frederick Douglass recalls childhood in Maryland, the barriers he faced in learning to read, and the violence used to control his labor. His account of resisting an overseer becomes a turning point in the book. Writing as an abolitionist, Douglass shows why literacy and the right to tell one’s own story mattered to freedom.
