Inspirational

Loved listening to this book! I've learned a lot more about Mr. Frederick Douglas

This should be prescribed reading

My eyes are now a little more open but I am aware that it is but a glimpse at the horrors of slavery.

great book

this was a great listen. the struggle and his commitment to freedom was impressive

United States of America, hear me now

This autobiography there’s a significant part of American history. It is a document of an eyewitness of his experience of slavery during his own lifetime. To come back to ignorance of slavery his narrative should be taught in schools across the United States as curriculums. Education is the only way to combat racial ignorance

Simply Enthralling

There is nothing I can say that will measure up to the story itself. One of the most blazoned, unapologetically truthful accounts of slavery told with introspection and intellect. Superbly written and beautifully narrated - a must read for everyone who is of sound mind.

Mandatory read for all.

I felt like I was right there with Fredrick. This book feels alive today. I can see how he had so much impact in his time. This book is timeless

Frederick!!!

great story telling. so many untold stories by so many others who broke free and those who did not.

Must read, such a moving eloquent story.

So hard to understand how this intelligent well spoken man was ever considered anyone’s slave, his perceptions of the wrong done to him and many others rips at your gut and you feel a bond with him in his evil predicament.

Excellent!

Excellent book. Excellent performance. Get a firsthand view of slavery in America. Douglass abolitionist par excellence! Now to read other autobiographies.
