Summary: life and times of frederick douglas
Comment: This is a historical account of how inhumane the system of slavery was in the united states. It tells of the brutality and the sheer meanness of europeans who had everyday contact with African people. But the most poignant aspect of this account is that African people were put through this brutal treatment and still came out of the other end with more Humanity than the Oppressor. This is a must read for every person of African descent and for the last four generations of europeans who benefit from the privileges they enjoy as a result of that system.

Summary: A powerful book, on many levels.
Comment: This book, written in Douglass' later years, not only lifted my spirits but did a great deal to reestablish my faith in humanity. This was a man who had every opportunity, and reason, to be bitter and/or vengeful. He, instead, chose to fight, with his intellect and his golden tongue, for what he, and others chained in slavery and social subservience, rightfully disserved as a member of our human race. He was a man of conviction and inner strength who taught himself to write with an elegance that I have never seen equaled. I strongly recommend this book.
