Frederick Douglas

I've heard people in the past quote Frederick Douglas.
It wasn't until recently that I learned that he was a former slave. (bad job by my white high school English teachers).
Today I read an excerpt from his autobiography. I enjoyed it very much.
If I ever have time in my life to do some casual, recreational reading, the works of Frederick Douglas will be up towards the top of my list.
Slavery is a concept, actually, not a concept, but a reality that is impossible to fathom. To be a slave owner, to buy or sell a human being and make them a piece of property, or chattel, is so fucked up to consider. The greed, wickedness, and utter lack of humanity makes me sick to think about.
Frederick Douglas' writing enforces that forcefully.
I look forward to reading more of his material.
