I mean, what is there to say other than this should be required reading for every American? It amazes me that Frederick Douglass wrote this book (with some trepidation) at my exact age (between 27 and 28) and the impact was so immense. It’s a tough read, of course, but emotionally, not intellectually. It is such a readable classic and one that speaks to the chaos of today’s world so much that it can be upsetting. He was one of the most gifted writers of his time, and our country owes so much to him and his legacy.
