hombre que nos habla de su propia experiencia vital, pero no lo hace por soberbia o porque estime que su vida es especialmente interesante, sino para ayudar a otros seres humanos que siguen siendo esclavos mientras �l ha conseguido, despu�s de muchos avatares, alcanzar la libertad. Los relatos de antiguos esclavos fueron un g�nero literario que prolifer� en Estados Unidos en el siglo XIX, al auspicio del movimiento abolicionista, que intentaba probar algo tan evidente para nosotros como que todos los hombres son iguales y que no se puede comerciar con los miembros de una raza como si de animales se tratara.

About the Author:

Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey (Frederick Douglass) was born a slave in Talbot County, Maryland. He took the name Douglass after escaping from the South in 1838.

As a leader in the abolitionist movement, Douglass was famed for his eloquent yet incisive political writing. And, like his near-contemporary, Booker T. Washington, understood the central importance of education in improving the lives of African Americans, and was therefore an early proponent of desegregation.

A firm believer in equal rights for all, Douglass attended a meeting of the National Council of Women in Washington, D.C., in the hours before his death in February 1895.
