One of the greatest African American leaders and one of the most brilliant minds of his time; Frederick Douglass spoke and wrote with unsurpassed eloquence on almost all the major issues confronting the American people during his life—from the abolition of slavery to women’s rights; from the Civil War to lynching; from American patriotism to black nationalism. Between 1950 and 1975; Philip S. Foner collected the most important of Douglass’s hundreds of speeches; letters; articles; and editorials into an impressive five-volume set; now long out of print. Abridged and condensed into one volume; and supplemented with several important texts that Foner did not include; this compendium presents the most significant; insightful; and elegant short works of Douglass’s massive oeuvre.
