Opis

This one-man, one-act, two scene play is a biography of Frederick Douglass. It chronicles the life of Douglass beginning with childhood in the plantation system, his life as a young adult slave, the escape to freedom and the gradual rise to prominence as a national spokesperson and advocate for racial equality and the abolition of slavery. The author blends his words and those of Douglass to create a compelling, uncompromising life story of an American slave turned American statesman. With history as a backdrop we discover that the words of Douglass resonate through the generations and are as meaningful today as they were during slavery, the Civil War and emancipation. Those words, in essence, are a message of hope and a reminder that the value of life is not determined by the color of one's skin.
