Another small slice, a chapter of a biography. I enjoy these where the authors spend the time and space in the book to focus on a moment of interest: in this one on just how Douglass learned to read and write and how this made him 'unfit to be a slave.' This is one of few biographies I have read so ...
The powerful and inspiring story of how words literally set Frederick Douglass free. Not crazy about the use of first-person narrative for a biography.
