About this listen

This memoir written by writer, orator, and former slave Frederick Douglass describes, in gripping detail, the circumstances of his upbringing, his brutal treatment at the hands of slave-owners, and his narrow escape from Maryland to freedom. Written in 1845, this narrative is one of the most famous works of American literature and provided fuel for the abolitionist movement that began in the early 19th century.

This autobiography there’s a significant part of American history. It is a document of an eyewitness of his experience of slavery during his own lifetime. To come back to ignorance of slavery his narrative should be taught in schools across the United States as curriculums. Education is the only way to combat racial ignorance

United States of America, hear me now

There is nothing I can say that will measure up to the story itself. One of the most blazoned, unapologetically truthful accounts of slavery told with introspection and intellect. Superbly written and beautifully narrated - a must read for everyone who is of sound mind.

Simply Enthralling

So hard to understand how this intelligent well spoken man was ever considered anyone’s slave, his perceptions of the wrong done to him and many others rips at your gut and you feel a bond with him in his evil predicament.

Must read, such a moving eloquent story.
