内容简介

One of the greatest African American leaders and one of the most brilliant minds of his time, Frederick Douglas 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. Philip 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, adapted, and supplemented with several important texts that Foner did not include, this book presents the most significant, insightful, and elegant short works of Douglass's massive oeuvre.
