Facing Frederick: The Life of Frederick Douglass, a Monumental American Man by Tonya Bolden

5.0

I've read other books by and about Frederick Douglass and this one is the best, by far. It is full of photos of Douglass and other people he associated with. It shows examples of his newspapers, photos of his homes, even items within the home. Bolden makes a big deal that Frederick Douglass was so much more than just "an escaped slave who went on to lecture a lot." I highly recommend this book to readers, middle grades through adults.
