The life of Frederick Douglass by Booker T. Washington. 1907].
PREFACE: The chance or destiny which brought to this land of ours,
and placed in the midst of the most progressive and the most
enlightened race that Christian civilization has produced, some
three or four millions of primitive black people from Africa and
their descendants, has created one of the most interesting and
difficult social problems which any modern people has had to face.
The effort to solve this problem has put to a crucial test the
fundamental principles of our political life and the most widely
accepted tenets of our Christian faith. Frederick Douglass's career
falls almost wholly within the first period of the struggle in
which this problem has involved the people of this country, the
period of revolution and liberation. That period is now closed. We
are at present in the period of construction and readjustment. Many
of the animosities engendered by the conflicts and controversies of
half a century ago still survive to confuse the councils of those
who are seeking to live in the present and the future, rather than
in the past. But changes are rapidly coming about that will remove,
or at least greatly modify, these lingering animosities.
