On the 100 anniversary of the death of abolitionist, orator, critic and radical patriot Frederick Douglass, we revisit the Pulitzer Prize winning biography by David Blight.
In 2018, 200 years since the birth of Frederick Douglass, we received the first major biography of Douglass in a quarter century. Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom by prize-winning historian and Yale Professor David Blight is based on nearly a lifetime of research as well as letters and private documentation to which no biographer has previously had access. It’s this revealing collection that helped shed new light on Douglass, particularly in the latter third of his life.
