TEHRAN-- Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass , an autobiography of the American servant Frederick Douglass has actually been published in Persian.Saless is the publisher of the book, which has actually been equated into Persian by Amir Rakei.Born a slave circa 1818 (servants werent told when they were born) on a plantation in Maryland, Douglass taught himself to check out and write.
In 1845, seven years after escaping to the North, he released Narrative, the very first of three autobiographies.
This book calmly but significantly states the scaries and the achievements of his early years-- the day-to-day, casual cruelty of the white masters; his agonizing efforts to educate himself; his decision to discover liberty or pass away; and his harrowing however successful escape.An amazing orator and an experienced author, Douglass became a paper editor, a political activist, and a significant spokesperson for the civil rights of African Americans.
He endured the Civil War, the end of slavery, and the start of segregation.
He was well known globally as the leading Black intellectual of his day, and his story still resonates in ours.Having left from slavery at age 20, he took the name Frederick Douglass for himself and became an advocate of abolition.
Douglass traveled widely, and frequently perilously, to lecture versus slavery.In 1870, Douglass introduced The New National Era out of Washington, D.C.
He was chosen for vice-president by the Equal Rights Party to keep up Victoria Woodhull as a governmental prospect in 1872.
He became U.S.
marshal of the District of Columbia in 1877 and was later on selected minister citizen and consul-general to Haiti.
His District of Columbia house is a nationwide historical website.
He died in 1895 and was buried in Mount Hope Cemetery, Rochester.Photo: Front cover of the Persian edition of Frederick Douglasss autobiography Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass .
