Facing frederick: The life of frederick douglass, a monumental american man
By tonya bolden
From award-winning author Tonya Bolden comes the fascinating story of one of America’s most influential African-American voices.
Teacher. Self-emancipator. Orator. Author. Man. There is much more to the story of Frederick Douglass than his time spent in slavery and his famous autobiography. This is the story of a great and mighty abolitionist and orator, but also of a newspaper man, women's rights activist, statesman, diplomat, public servant, and lover of travel, music, and books.
