Over the weekend I have been rereading ’Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass’ (1845)and much of what he says and records about slavery in C19 USA runs true in todays societies.

For those without a hard copy, the book is available here - not a long read but a harrowing one. And one for our times.

and a short account of the facts around this man can be read here
