As I've been recently inspired by Matt Seybold's article on Twain and
Douglass, I've been researching Twain's return to the Mississippi River,
and interestingly enough I just received this notice that some of you
might be interested in from the Library of America:
Frederick Douglass:
Prophet of Freedom
Frederick Douglass’s first recorded speech, “I Have Come to Tell You
Something About Slavery,” inaugurated a five-decade career as the fiery,
eloquent champion of abolition and emancipation, equal rights and human
dignity. Join David Blight, Douglass’s Pulitzer Prize–winning biographer
and editor of a revelatory new LOA collection, for an exploration of the
genius of an extraordinary man who escaped slavery to become one of the
greatest orators and writers in American history.
