Frederick Douglass The Clarion Voice Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Frederick Douglass: The Clarion VoiceNothing if not articulate, Douglass will remain his own best interpreter. But to see him against the backdrop of his own day and age, to indicate something of the scope of his activities and to assess his relevance to our times, we need a trustworthy guide. John W. Blassingame is eminently fitted for this vital service. Editor of the Frederick Douglass Papers project, with headquarters at Yale, Blassingame is steeped in the Douglass literature, conversant with the epic quality of his career.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
