Frederick Douglass : freedom's voice, 1818-1845

By Gregory P. Lampe. East Lansing: Michigan State University Press, 1998.

This book was written by Dr. Gregory Lampe, a retired provost and vice chancellor for academic and student affairs, and emeritus communications professor at Michigan State University. Since Douglass was an orator, it seems fitting for a communications and speech professor to write about his oratory and rhetoric. Now, after reading this book, you have to go to freedomarchives.org to listen to a recording of Frederick Douglass's voice. His speeches are fiery, and spirit-filled, and he doesn’t just speak, but he preaches about abolition as if it were a sermon, moving today's modern listener to action.
