“It is the autobiography of a slave who became and advisor to President Lincoln and the diplomatic representative of the United States to Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Hence, this narrative of his life has inspired Negroes and other disadvantaged Americans to believe that, despite the imperfections of American democracy, a self-made man many aspire to greatness.”
Rayford W. Logan, Life and Times of Frederick Douglass

“Unlike some slave narratives and indeed, some messages of Presidents of the United States, Douglass's works were his own.”
Rayford W. Logan, Life and Times of Frederick Douglass: His Early Life as a Slave, His Escape From Bondage and His Complete Life Story
