In 1845, Frederick Douglass published his memoir "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave." Sadly, 175 years later, his words remain all too relevant today. To remind us of the depth of the pain and cruelty upon which our country was built, and how far we have yet to go to meet the true hope of equality that Douglass spent his life fighting and writing for, we present a reading of his memoir in its entirety featuring contemporary writers, scholars, and activists reading his work.
