Frederick Douglass

Bedford/St. Martin's, 2002

My heart broke
The honesty with which this is written is amazing. I was glued to it from page one. I felt disgusted by the human race, saddened by his traumas and guilty just for being white. I think this needs to be read more. Especially in schools. Why isn't it???

A People & A Nation: Volume 1: To 1877
Mary Beth Norton, David M. Katzman, ...

history rewritten
I purchased this book for a class. It is not something I would normally buy to read for pleasure. I felt the authors were biased and included some odd trivia in the book to push their own liberal agenda.
