Frederick Douglass: Monologue and Narrator Play

nidottu
This is a 3500 word play especially suitable for a staged reading. It features the words and wisdom of Frederick Douglass, an escaped slave who became an orator and author. He presented the plight of the slave better than any abolitionist who had never experienced slavery. He became a conductor on the Underground Railroad and befriended other abolitionists and rights workers such as Wendell Phillips, John Brown, Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Ida B. Wells, and Susan B. Anthony, with whom he shared many stages speaking for women's right to vote. Douglass was called upon for his advice by President Abraham Lincoln and later received presidential appointments to government positions including ambassador to Haiti. He was a brilliant, persuasive speaker and writer and was in high demand for appearances throughout the northern United States and In Britain. His works will live forever as a testament of this period transitioning slavery and freedom. This play is but a small tribute to a great man.

Lieutenant-Colonel John Henry Patterson, (10 November 1867 - 18 June 1947), known as J. H. Patterson, was an Irish born British soldier, hunter, author and Christian Zionist, best known for his book The Man-Eaters of Tsavo (1907), which details his experiences while building a railway bridge over the Tsavo river in British East Africa (now Kenya) in 1898-99. The book has inspired three Hollywood films - Bwana Devil (1952), Killers of Kilimanjaro (1959) and The Ghost and the Darkness (1996) in which he was portrayed by Val Kilmer. In the First World War, Patterson was the commander of the Jewish Legion, "the first Jewish fighting force in nearly two millennia", and has been described as the godfather of the modern Israel Defense Forces.Patterson was born in 1867 in Forgney, Ballymahon, County Longford, Ireland, to a Protestant father and Roman Catholic mother. He joined the British Army at the age of seventeen and eventually attained the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel 2] and was awarded the DSO. He finally retired from the military in 1920.

La Souabe est une des r gions les plus po tiques de l'Allemagne. Contigu la Suisse par sa fronti re m ridionale, ses sites la reproduisent en miniature. Les torrents de ses vall es n' tourdissent point le laboureur. Dans la belle saison, leur courant diaphane voile peine le sol; ils g missent doucement contre les roches anguleuses qui g nent leur marche, et leur voix m lancolique r sonne travers les for ts, comme le chant d'un orgue lointain. Les basses terres et pentes vineuses sont les seuls endroits que l'on cultive. Les hauteurs ont gard leur physionomie originelle, et cette nature sauvage, formant contraste avec une nature moins rude, oppose les harmonies du d sert aux gr ces de la civilisation. Dans la plaine, des chaumi res fumantes, des bl s ondoyants, un villageois qui b che et fredonne quelque antique ballade; sur la montagne, le cri du lammergeier, et les pointes granitiques dress es au milieu des arbres, comme un pic au milieu des flots. Une tour presque d truite charge ordinairement leur cime. Par ses crois es b antes, on aper oit vers le midi une longue cha ne de glaciers. Leur ternelle p leur rehausse les noirs sommets qui les pr c dent, et, comme l'id e de la mort dans les festins antiques, augmente le charme du tableau d ploy devant vous. Plusieurs fois j'ai vu l'orage envelopper le Schwartzwald et redoubler la nuit de ses for ts. Le tonnerre planait sur elles, ainsi qu'un envoy du Seigneur en courroux. Mais tandis que le vent remuait les pins et fouettait les nuages, les blouissants pitons de la Suisse conservaient toute leur s r nit . A leur inalt rable magnificence on e t dit une rang e de blanches d esses attir es par cette lugubre f le...

In the month of August, 1841, I attended an anti-slavery convention in Nantucket, at which it was my happiness to become acquainted with FREDERICK DOUGLASS, the writer of the following Narrative. He was a stranger to nearly every member of that body; but, having recently made his escape from the southern prison-house of bondage, and feeling his curiosity excited to ascertain the principles and measures of the abolitionists, -of whom he had heard a somewhat vague description while he was a slave, -he was induced to give his attendance, on the occasion alluded to, though at that time a resident in New Bedfor

ABOUT NARRATIVE OF THE LIFE OF FREDERICK DOUGLASS, AN AMERICAN SLAVE Frederick Douglass's dramatic autobiographical account of his early life as a slave in America. Born into a life of bondage, Frederick Douglass secretly taught himself to read and write. It was a crime punishable by death, but it resulted in one of the most eloquent indictments of slavery ever recorded. His gripping narrative takes us into the fields, cabins, and manors of pre-Civil War plantations in the South and reveals the daily terrors he suffered as a slave. Written more than a century and a half ago by an African-American who went on to become a famous orator, U.S. minister to Haiti, and leader of his people, this timeless classic still speaks directly to our age. It is a record of savagery and inhumanity that goes far to explain why America still suffers from the great injustices of the past.

Do you want to read Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave? If so then keep reading... Former slave, impassioned abolitionist, brilliant writer, newspaper editor and eloquent orator whose speeches fired the abolitionist cause, Frederick Douglass (1818-1895) led an astounding life. Physical abuse, deprivation and tragedy plagued his early years, yet through sheer force of character he was able to overcome these obstacles to become a leading spokesman for his people. In this, the first and most frequently read of his three autobiographies, Douglass provides graphic descriptions of his childhood and horrifying experiences as a slave as well as a harrowing record of his dramatic escape to the North and eventual freedom. Published in 1845 to quell doubts about his origins -- since few slaves of that period could write -- the Narrative is admired today for its extraordinary passion, sensitive and vivid descriptions and storytelling power.

Collector's Edition Laminated Hardback with Jacket Born into slavery, Frederick Douglass recounts his early years on a plantation where he faces unimaginable cruelty and hardship. Through perseverance and cunning, he learns to read and write, sparking a desire for freedom and a determination to escape. Along the way, he navigates the complexities of power, identity, and the brutal realities of slavery, encountering figures who shape his journey. His story is one of survival, self-empowerment, and the unyielding hope for a better future, yet the struggle for freedom is far from over.This autobiography is a powerful first-hand account of the horrors of slavery, offering an unflinching look at its dehumanizing effects. Douglass's eloquent prose and vivid storytelling not only expose the brutalities of slavery but also highlight the strength of the human spirit in the fight for freedom. As a key work in the abolitionist movement, it galvanized public opinion and gave voice to millions who were silenced by oppression. Its enduring impact continues to inspire movements for justice, equality, and human rights.

Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is an 1845 memoir and treatise on abolition written by famous orator and former slave Frederick Douglass during his time in Lynn, Massachusetts. It is generally held to be the most famous of a number of narratives written by former slaves during the same period. In factual detail, the text describes the events of his life and is considered to be one of the most influential pieces of literature to fuel the abolitionist movement of the early 19th century in the United States.Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass encompasses eleven chapters that recount Douglass's life as a slave and his ambition to become a free man. It contains two introductions by well-known white abolitionists: a preface by William Lloyd Garrison, and a letter by Wendell Phillips, both arguing for the veracity of the account and the literacy of its author.Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass received many positive reviews, but there was a group of people who opposed Douglass's work. One of his biggest critics, A. C. C. Thompson, was a neighbor of Thomas Auld, who was the master of Douglass for some time. As seen in "Letter from a Slave Holder" by A. C. C. Thompson, found in the Norton Critical Edition of Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave, he claimed that the slave he knew was "an unlearned, and rather an ordinary negro". Thompson was confident that Douglass "was not capable of writing the Narrative". He also disputed the Narrative when Douglass described the various cruel white slave holders that he either knew or knew of. Prior to the publication of Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, the public could not fathom how it was possible for a former slave to appear to be so educated. Upon listening to his oratory, many were skeptical of the stories he told. After Douglass's publication, however, the public was swayed. Many viewed his text as an affirmation of what he spoke of publicly. Also found in The Norton Critical Edition, Margaret Fuller, a prominent book reviewer and literary critic of that era, had a high regard of Douglass's work. She claimed, "we have never read a narrative] more simple, true, coherent, and warm with genuine feeling". She also suggested that "every one may read his book and see what a mind might have been stifled in bondage - what a man may be subjected to the insults of spendthrift dandies, or the blows of mercenary brutes, in whom there is no whiteness except of the skin, no humanity in the outward form". Douglass's work in this Narrative was an influential piece of literature in the anti-slavery movement.
