5.0

Exceptional is not a good enough word to describe this book. Frederick Douglass's strength to educate himself and to free himself from the shackles of bondage against all odds is inspiring. The dignity of the man is humbling to behold. He seems to be a wonderful speaker, so Douglass goes on my list of "I wish I could go back in time to see ....". A must-read.
