Absolutely everyone should read this book at least once in their life. Race aside, this is the inspiring story of one man's efforts to make changes in the world beyond anything he could ever have believed as he started out.

If you have ever had the chance to walk some of the land on Maryland's eastern shore, where Douglass was born and raised, you'll appreciate even more where this man came from and where he finally ended up in his heroic life.
