Frederick Douglass: Monologue and Narrator Play (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781983436963)

This is a 3500 word play especially suitable for a staged reading. It features the words and wisdom of Frederick Douglass, an escaped slave who became an orator and author. He presented the plight of the slave better than any abolitionist who had never experienced slavery. He became a conductor on the Underground Railroad and befriended other abolitionists and rights workers such as Wendell Phillips, John Brown, Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Ida B. Wells, and Susan B. Anthony, with whom he shared many stages speaking for women's right to vote. Douglass was called upon for his advice by President Abraham Lincoln and later received presidential appointments to government positions including ambassador to Haiti. He was a brilliant, persuasive speaker and writer and was in high demand for appearances throughout the northern United States and In Britain. His works will live forever as a testament of this period transitioning slavery and freedom. This play is but a small tribute to a great man.
