The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass – An American Slave

Douglass begins by saying that he does not know his birthday and this bothers him.

Douglass was a famous orator who wrote his memoirs as a means of discussing abolition.

The writings of Frederick Douglass are seen as being the most influential in the 19th century and helped strengthen the abolitionist movement.
