Description

It was said that his life was proof that once black people could read and write about their injustices, they would have the power to end slavery. Frances E. Ruffin explores this inspiring figure and captures the hardships, prejudice and violence Douglass endured along with fascinating illustrations, photographs and engravings showing Douglass' family, abolition meetings, civil war battles, freed blacks getting their first vote, and much more."Sterling Biographies" are packed with information and filled with unique images that include rare documentary photographs, artwork, maps and personal artefacts. Focusing on inventors and innovative thinkers, they present first-person accounts and dramatic events related in an intimate and accessible style.
