The post-reconstruction era, 1877-1895.One of the greatest African American leaders and one of the most brilliant minds of his time, Frederick Douglass spoke and wrote with unsurpassed eloquence on almost all the major issues confronting the American people during his life—from the abolition of slavery to women's rights, from the Civil War to lynching, from American patriotism to black nationalism. Between 1950 and 1975, Philip S. Foner collected the most important of Douglass's hundreds of speeches, letters, articles, and editorials into an impressive five-volume set, now long out of print. Abridged and condensed into one volume, and supplemented with several important texts that Foner did not include, this compendium presents the most significant, insightful, and elegant short works of Douglass's massive oeuvre.Library of Black America.Antislavery movementsUnited StatesHistory19th centuryEnslaved personsUnited StatesSocial conditions19th centuryAfrican AmericansCivil rightsHistory19th centurySpeeches, addresses, etc., AmericanAntislavery movementsHistoryEnslaved personsSocial conditionsAfrican AmericansCivil rightsHistorySpeeches, addresses, etc., American.973.8/092Douglass Frederick1818-1895.243304Foner Philip Sheldon1910-1994.243429Taylor Yuval1604946MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813407803321Frederick Douglass3929936UNINA
