{"product_id":"great-speeches-by-frederick-douglass-9780486498829","title":"Great Speeches by Frederick Douglass","description":"Author, abolitionist, political activist, and philosopher, Frederick Douglass was a pivotal figure in the decades of struggle leading up to the Civil War and the Reconstruction era. This inexpensive compilation of his speeches adds vital detail to the portrait of a great historical figure. \u003cbr\u003eFeatured addresses include What to the Slave is the Fourth of July? which was delivered on July 5, 1852, more than ten years before the Emancipation Proclamation. Had I the ability, and could reach the nation's ear, I would, today, pour out a fiery stream of biting ridicule, blasting reproach, withering sarcasm, and stern rebuke, Douglass assured his listeners, For it is not light that is needed, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake. Other eloquent and dramatic orations include Self-Made Men, first delivered in 1859, which defines the principles behind individual success, and The Church and Prejudice, delivered at the Plymouth County Anti-Slavery Society in 1841.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-397979\"\u003eFrederick Douglass\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/16\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.22h x 5.25w x 0.35d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486498829\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0486498824\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-LCO\"\u003eLiterary Collections\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LCO002010\"\u003eAmerican | African American \u0026amp; Black\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-LCO\"\u003eLiterary Collections\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LCO018000\"\u003eSpeeches\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFormer slave Frederick Douglass (1818-95) was an author, abolitionist, political speaker, philosopher, and pivotal figure in the decades of struggle leading up to the Civil War and the Emancipation Proclamation.James Daley is the editor of several Dover Thrift Editions, including \u003ci\u003eThe World's Greatest Short Stories, Great Speeches by African Americans, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eGreat Speeches by African American Women.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42696786608365,"sku":"9780486498829","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_9b02649b-5271-401a-980f-f22e1cbb1681.jpg?v=1649883393","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/great-speeches-by-frederick-douglass-9780486498829","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
