This classic did as much as or more than any other book to motivate the abolitionist to continue to fight for freedom in American. Frederick Douglass was born a slave he escaped a brutal system and through sheer force of will educated himself and became an abolitionist editor orator author statesman and reformer. This is one of the most unlikely and powerful success stories ever written.In Frederick Douglass' autobiography My Bondage and My Freedom we can see the power of literacy and belief. Douglass transforms himself from slave to an abolitionist journalist orator and one of the most powerful voices to emerge from the American civil rights movement with little more than force of will. His breadth of his accomplishments gave hope to generations of people who came after him in their fight for civil rights.The Life and Times of Frederick Douglass was Douglass' third autobiography.
