520 _a"Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is a memoir and treatise on abolition. It was written by impassioned abolitionist, brilliant writer, newspaper editor, eloquent orator, and former enslaved African, Frederick Douglas (1818-1895), whose speeches fired the abolitionist cause.Douglass led an impressive life, during which he endured years of physical abuse, deprivation and tragedy early in life. However, through sheer force of character, he was able to overcome these obstacles to become a leading spokesman for his people. In this book, the first and most frequently read of his three autobiographies, Douglass provides graphic descriptions of his childhood and horrifying experiences as an enslaved African, as well as a harrowing record of his dramatic escape to the North and eventual freedom. Originally published in 1845, this Narrative is admired today for its extraordinary passion, sensitive and vivid descriptions and storytelling power. It belongs in the library of anyone interested in African-American history and the life of one of the country's most courageous and influential champions of civil rights. A selection of the Common Core State Standards Initiative."
