This book. Wow. It was emotional, powerful and intense. I am so glad that I read it. As someone who always looked back at history tired of hearing the stories of the slave owners im so grateful to have discovered this book that details just a small amount of mistreatment and abuse of a slave. Mr Douglas is one of tbe strongest people I know. He not only stood up for himself but he continually put his fellow-slaves along side him, always making sure they remained safe while he spoke his truth.

Not revealing his way of escape to protect them.

It was such an easy read, i thoughly enjoyed the experience. I am sickened that any person could have inflicted such horrors on a fellow person. It is important for us to educate ourselves on the past so that we can work to improve the present to make the future a better place.

i’m not rating it because my personal opinion and enjoyment hs nothing to do with the fact that everyone should read this book or one like it. this history is important for everyone - especially  white folks - to consume as it is so real and informative.
i did read it for school and i’m glad because i would not have otherwise. 
Frederick Douglass was an incredible person with an incredible story.
