    Description

    FREDERICK DOUGLASS
    A Lecture on Our National Capital
    By
    Frederick Douglass
    This fascinating volume pays in large measure an eloquent tribute to one of the most remarkable men of the nineteenth century, a man whose powerful voice still rings with the lessons for our own time.  In this actual address, perhaps the longest Douglass has ever given, it is organized in three parts: first an examination of Washington's assets as the seat of government; followed by a delineation of its drawbacks for such a role; and finally a concluding evaluation, touched off with an optimistic view as to it's future.  A very pertinent lecture for the times of today.
    ***Includes a "Study and Discussion Aids for the Secondary Student" workbook.
