Our sixteenth president is known for many things: he delivered
the Emancipation Proclamation and the Gettysburg Address. He was
tall and skinny and notoriously stern-looking. And he also had some
very strong ideas about abolishing slavery, ideas which brought him
into close contact with another very visible public figure:
Frederick Douglass. Douglass was born a slave but escaped in 1838
and became one of the central figures in the American abolitionist
movement.
This book offers a glimpse into the unusual friendship between
two great American leaders. At a time when racial tensions were
high and racial equality was not yet established, Lincoln and
Douglass formed a strong bond over shared ideals and worked
alongside each other for a common goal.
The acclaimed team behind "Rosa," winner of the Coretta Scott
King Award and a Caldecott Honor book, join forces once more to
portray this historic friendship at a unique moment in time.
