To understand Frederick Douglass, his struggles, and the times he lived in, one must read about his life in his own words. Douglass wrote three autobiographies: The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave; My Bondage and My Freedom; and The Life and Times of Frederick Douglass. Two are part of the American Memory online collections at the Library of Congress. |
