Slave born of an unknown father, Douglass taught himself, escaped bondage, and emerged as one of the nineteenth century's most eloquent orators and writers. Douglass spoke out unabashedly against slavery in America. He understood from the start that the ending of legal bondage should be accompanied by the acknowledging of black Americans' right to full citizenship. Not only a champion of racial equality, Douglass was also one of the few men in public life to advocate the rights of women. Explores the life of Frederick Douglass as he achieves stature as a leader in the struggle to transcend the limitations of bondage and race.
