My Bondage and My Freedom — Frederick Douglass

My Bondage and My Freedom is an autobiographical
slave narrative written by Frederick Douglass and published in 1855. It is the
second of three autobiographies written by Douglass, and is mainly an expansion
of his first (Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass), discussing in
greater detail his transition from bondage to liberty. Douglass, a former slave,
following his liberation went on to become a prominent abolitionist, speaker,
author, and publisher.
