關於作者
Frederick Douglass (c. 1818 – February 20, 1895) was a prominent American abolitionist, orator, author, and statesman. Born Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey into slavery in Maryland, he escaped in 1838 and became a national leader of the abolitionist movement in Massachusetts and New York. Renowned for his eloquence, Douglass wrote several autobiographies that detailed his experiences in slavery and his life after emancipation, serving as a crucial voice for human rights and social justice. His best-known works include 'Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave' (1845), 'My Bondage and My Freedom' (1855), and 'Life and Times of Frederick Douglass' (1881). In 'Why is the Negro Lynched?' (1894), Douglass addressed the scourge of lynching in the post-Reconstruction South. This scathing analysis reveals the economic, social, and political factors that led to the violent persecution of African Americans, advocating strongly for civil rights and equality under the law. Douglass's unwavering advocacy for equality and justice spoke through his incisive literary contributions, marking him as a critical figure in American literature and history. His works not only illuminate the struggles of African Americans in the 19th century but also continue to resonate in today's discussions surrounding race and civil rights.
