You have seen how a man was made a slave; you shall see how a slave was made a man.
Born into slavery during the early nineteenth century, Frederick Douglass escaped to freedom before he was twenty-one years old. From the moment he arrived in New York City, he felt a need to tell his story, one that mirrored so many people still enslaved in the South with no hope of escape.
As an orator and preacher, Douglass was an abolitionist, supporter of women’s suffrage and staunch defender of equality for all. In his first autobiographical work, published in 1845, The Narrative of Frederick Douglass describes how he went from slave to a free man.
Sinh ra trong chế độ nô lệ vào đầu thế kỷ 19, Frederick Douglass đã trốn thoát đến tự do trước năm hai mốt tuổi. Ngay từ khi đến Thành phố New York, anh cảm thấy cần phải kể câu chuyện của mình, câu chuyện phản ánh rất nhiều người vẫn đang bị bắt làm nô lệ ở miền Nam mà không có hy vọng trốn thoát.
