Collected here in this omnibus edition are three influential
autobiographies of prominent men whose rose up from slavery to
greatness. Essential reading for anyone interested in African
American Heritage. Included are Up From Slavery by Booker T.
Washington, Twelve Years a Slave by Solomon Northup and Narrative
of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave by Frederick
Douglass. Up from Slavery is one of the most influential
biographies ever written. On one level it is the life story of
Booker T. Washington and his rise from slavery to accomplished
educator and activist. On another level it the story of how an
entire race strove to better itself. Washington was constantly, and
often bitterly, criticized by his contemporaries for being too
conciliatory to whites and not concerned enough about civil rights.
It would not be until after his death that the world would find out
that he had indeed worked a great deal for civil rights anonymously
behind the scenes. Twelve Years a Slave is the harrowing true story
of Solomon Northup, a free black man living in New York. He was
kidnaped by unscrupulous slave hunters and sold into slavery where
he, endured unimaginable degradation and abuse until his rescue
twelve years later. A powerful and riveting condemnation of
American slavery. Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is
one of the most influential autobiographies ever written. This
classic did as much as or more than any other book to motivate the
abolitionist to continue to fight for freedom in American.
Frederick Douglass was born a slave, he escaped a brutal system and
through sheer force of will educated himself and became an
abolitionist, editor, orator, author, statesman, and reformer. This
is one of the most unlikely and powerful success stories ever
written.
