„My man‘s pen game is vicious“
Couldn’t have said it better myself
I can't stress enough how impactful this series is in my understanding of history that I was never taught
Thank you so much for bringing up his wife Anna. I never knew that she was supporting them before he became a great orator. I will definitely research more about her life.
Fredrick Douglas is truly a hero to me.
I believe if any Black person should be on U.S. currency, he should be the first.
When urging black men to enlist in the Union Army to fight the Confederacy. “You owe it to yourself,” he said. “You will stand more erect and be less liable to insult. You will be defending your own liberty, honor, manhood, and self-respect.” -Fredrick Douglas
"My cause is that of the black man, not because he is black but because he is a man." -Fredrick Douglas
I just bought a copy of Douglass's book. My public schooling never even mentioned him, and I didn't learn of him until well into my college years. Truly a remarkable man.
I read his, "narrative of the life of Fredrick Douglas" for my school work last year! It was very moving, and very graphic at times, but a very beautiful story.
Im so glad Anna was talked about. Without her, there was no Frederick.
Black women need to be talked about more - and not just in terms of fighting against slavery. But for their skills and talents that are not talked about enough
As a non American epic rap battles was where I first heard of him, and he continues to be one of the most amazing human beings I have ever learnt from.
I remember reading Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass as a senior in high school. It wasn't for class. I didn't understand every part because in my conservative school, they didn't teach us the full story of enslavement. The book opened my eyes to the true horror of slavery. Helped me become more of an anti-racist.
Frederick Douglass, founding father, indeed.
I read Douglass's autobiography when I was a teen. It taught me what it is to be free by showing the lot of slaves, and how one rare man overcame that almost insuperable obstacle. His observations about what kept his people down are invaluable. His book made me see that many a freeborn individual still lives the life of a slave. This is one of the few books I have read which I think that everyone in the world should read.
Please tell me Clint Smith is staying on after the series is over. His vocal skills are *on point.*
Perhaps he should be considered a founding father. Perhaps there are many others as well, in the sense of the nation being an ongoing project that did not simply appear in a perfect form on the first day. As long as the mantle remains reserved for persons that are no longer living, lest it be reduced to a political tool.
I had to do a biography project in the 4th grade and I got assigned Frederick Douglass. I didn't know who he was and neither did anyone in my family (which looking back is a shame), so I read his biography and most other books on him to get prepared. He was one of the most influential people I had heard of at that point in my life and changed a lot of how I viewed history. He made me want to learn more and now I'm a college graduate with a history degree. I'm so glad I got to learn of his life and I hope this video allows others to have a similar experience to me.
I got the chance to read his memoir in my first year of college for an English class and wrote my final history essay on him!! He’s truly awesome!
I’m teaching my daughter Black history since true history was taken out of school here in Florida so thank you for this knowledge
Thank you for doing this Crash Course series. As a Canadian our schooling only touches on this history a little, too little. Things didn't play out exactly the same here but the connections to what did happen here and why are clearer with the bigger picture.
One of the greatest Americans ever
I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed this series. It's both fascinating and historically rigorous.
My Favourite American Orator and Author!
Best crash course ever, this needs to be watched all over the world to every citizen of this planet and maybe there would be hope for a better world ,one where love finally finishes of the war against hatred and mankind will be able to love itself in a way where we finally live in harmony with our universe.
Fredrick Douglas was really big in my hometown (Rochester, NY) he's painted on walls, has a statue, and more informational stuff about his life on a trail and scattered around town. He's even buried in the cemetery there.
Douglass is interesting both in terms of how radical and how pragmatic he was.
Yes! Love this series! Such a vital resource!
Thank you so much for mentioning Anna. I’ve read a few of his books and felt like he didn’t speak enough about her. Black women have always stood in the gap.
I've been so excited for this! Douglass is possibly my favorite American writer.
Library of America has a volume of the Autobiographies of Frederick Douglass that includes "Narrative of the Life," "My Bondage and My Freedom," and "Life and Times," and various articles of his other writings. The former "Narrative of the Life" is in their "Slave Narratives" and much of his writing is in "Antislavery Writings," and the four volume "The Civil War: Told by Those Who Lived It." His story and writings are so well-written that people denied that he had been born a slave. His first wife helped him escape from slavery and supported him in his freedom. His second wife was white and his children opposed his marriage to a white woman. Frederick Douglass replied that his first wife was the color of his mother as he saw no problem that his second wife was the color of his father. Frederick Douglass was a hero of the United States and the Nineteenth Century.
Thank you for this. My kids are homeschooled and I like to supplement their history lessons with videos. They really didn’t spend enough time on this man, so we are 💗
Thank you Clint. These crashcourse videos have been eye opening. Keep them coming!
I'm in love with this series! As a History Major, i'm glad to be finding out more information. I wish you guys did a video on Nat Turner and George Stinney
Thank you for this excellent episode!
I firsr heard of him from ice cube in the film higher learning
Thank you for another great video CrashCourse!
Thank you CC and Mr Smith for this enriching video !
Tremendous. I must read him.
Loved this! Douglass’s writing and other slave narratives are amazing works of writing that are so exceptional with their literary, historical, and political confluences. Would love to see a crash course literature series focused on them
learning to read and write by frederick douglass was among my favorite literature i read in high school. excellent video!!
Black history is american history! it should be taught all year, not just a month
He taught others how to read!!!🙌🏿
Wow. Thanks again, Clint! Another great installment!
Thank you so much for this moving and informative piece. My students enjoyed the presentation. Their favorite part was about how Douglass beat up Covey. GO, Freddy!!!
This was amazing looked it up to teach my children! Thank you very much!
I’m a fourth grader who’s in a stem school learning
Thank you so much for sharing this video
Love this channel.. keep it going
Frederick Douglass is my favorite civil rights activist and no one comes close
How I wish we had a recording of one of his speeches!
Thank you thank you, this was beautiful and easy to follow for my homeschooling family. I appreciate you and this. Stay Great
Thank you so much this really helped me with my fredrick Douglass timeline
Absolutely fascinating. What a remarkable man! I am not Amerian but this makes me interested in American history.
Thank you for sharing. Sad in many ways to hear these facts. Joyful in more ways because the real true facts about people like Fredrick Douglas, Harriet Tubman, Ida Wells and many more are enlightening to the reality of change and progression through the years. Of which continues to this day. Thanks again.
This is way better than the pragerU version.
I am a studemt at Rowan University and I can now understand how both Bob Marley's song By the Rivers of Babylon, help tell the story of Fredrick Douglas.
Love your work sir.
Well Done 👏🏿
Great video!
Library of America issued a new volume of "Speeches & Writings" by Frederick Douglass. It is excellent reading. I highly recommend it and the companion volume of his "Autobiographies." Library of America will probably issue both volumes as a boxed set. Buy both apart or as a boxed set!
Thank you, Anna. I just got his narrative book on audible 😅
Yoooooo new upload
Fantastic thank you
Thanks!
Thank you for this vid as I'm not a reader.
