Summary:
This collection of Douglasss speeches in Brooklyn displays the power of the former slave's oratory before, during, and after the Civil War, illustrating the complex relationship between
Frederick
Douglass
and the city of Brooklyn. Most prominent are the speeches the abolitionist gave at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Plymouth Church, and other leading Brooklyn institutions. Whether discussing the politics of the Civil War or recounting his relationships with Abraham Lincoln and John Brown,
Douglass
' powerful voice sounds anything but dated. An introductory essay examines the intricate ties between
Douglass
and Brooklyn abolitionists, while brief chapter introductions and annotations fill in the historical context.
