Frederick Douglass Publishes 'Life and Times,' Third and Final Autobiography
Frederick Douglass publishes 'Life and Times of Frederick Douglass,' the final and most comprehensive of his three autobiographies, covering his abolitionist career, the Civil War, and Reconstruction. Douglass continues to serve as the towering moral voice of Black America until his death in 1895, and his writing remains foundational to African American intellectual tradition.
