Frederick Douglass was a former slave who became one of the most influential figures in the abolitionist movement. He was a writer, renowned orator, and social reformer whose eloquent writing about antislavery brought him considerable fame, but he was also a strong supporter of women's rights. This volume contains three of Douglass's essays written between 1881 to 1892, "The Color Line," "The Future of the Colored Race," and "Lynch Law in the South."
