them when they displease her. She acts as if they

Finishing reading Narrative of the Life of
Frederick Douglas, many details about the evils of
slavery that I never knew existed appeared to me
more vividly. Now I understand whether or not it
is moral to own a human being. My opinion after
reading this is that it is absolutely wrong to own
a man and take his freedom. Douglas described what
it feels to be in slaves shoes. Douglas explained

details of his life. Throughout his entire
writing, the auth...

Quot Culture African American Parker

[The interview dates from April 1989. ] Komunyakaa
Historically, the African American has had to
survive by his or her sheer nerve and wit, and it
often seems as if we have been forced to create
everything out of nothing. Music kept us closer to
the essence of ourselves. Thus, there is little

slave-owning locales. The drum was a threat

hands and stomp our feet ...
