Frederick Douglass: A Voice of Freedom
Even at an early age, Frederick Douglass understood that knowledge led to freedom and that the written word could lead to change. As a formerly enslaved person who became a free and patriotic citizen, Douglass delivered an estimated total of 2,000 speeches and penned several editorials and articles in his newspapers, like The North Star, in the span of 50 years. As such, Douglass is one of the best orators the United States has ever produced and easily one of the most influential thinkers of the nineteenth century.
Douglass used his eloquent and fiery voice to sound his support for the liberation of the disadvantaged and the disenfranchised. His own words and ideals are presented in Frederick Douglass: A Voice for Freedom and Justice, the very same words that pierced America’s consciousness and pointed out the undemocratic elements that ran through the political, social, and economic institutions of his time. Today, Douglass inspires hope, change, and advocacy, his patriotic spirit still a voice for freedom and justice.
