The Portable Frederick Douglass by Frederick Douglass
challenging
inspiring
medium-paced
5.0
One of the best books I have ever read. Frederick Douglass is one of those people I somehow was never assigned in school but felt like I needed to read if I was going to consider myself educated and WOW I am glad I did. A breath of fresh air to go back to the sources when all the discourse about the Civil War today is so…. garbage. Everybody had a conscience, everybody knew. “The Color Line” could have been written yesterday and certain people would find it intolerably radical. You love to see it.
