My Bondage and My Freedom by Frederick Douglass
"My Bondage and My Freedom" by Frederick Douglass is an autobiographical slave narrative published in 1855. The second of Douglass's three autobiographies, it expands upon his first narrative, depicting in greater detail his journey from enslavement to freedom. Following his liberation, Douglass became a prominent abolitionist, orator, author, newspaper publisher, and advocate for women's rights. The book features an introduction by James McCune Smith, whom Douglass called the "foremost black influence" of
his life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
