My Life as an American Slave

This modern adaptation was taken directly from the original work which is in the public domain. It is in no way intending to replace the original Narrative which is a timeless masterpiece. Instead it is a creative interpretation meant to inspire others who may want to imagine how Douglass would’ve talked or written had he lived today. Readers are highly encouraged to read the original Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass which can be found online or by clicking here.
