About This Book

Written just a year before his death, 'Why is the Negro Lynched?' is one of Douglass' most moving and passionate speeches.

Still sadly-pertinent today, his skill as a wordsmith is captured in passages that discuss everything from law and respect for human life to religion and the necessity for belonging.

An expert orator, Douglass presents his arguments as though they were part of a court case, deftly switching between the roles of prosecution and defence, before passing sentence against the white establishment of the time.

An important book for anyone and everyone.
