Summary:

Douglass in His Own Time offers an introduction to Frederick Douglass by those who knew him. The book includes a broad range of writings, some intended for public viewing and some private correspondence, all of which contend with the force of Douglass's tremendous power over the written and spoken word, his amazing presence before crowds, his ability to improvise, to entertain, to instruct, to inspire-indeed, to change lives through his eloquent appeals to righteous sell-awareness and social justice.
