Description
"Celeste-Marie Bernier's Anna Murray Douglass is the first book in a nine-volume collection detailing the life and work of the entire Douglass family and the first standalone biography of the wife and co-revolutionary of Frederick Douglass. Bernier provides a detailed and illustrated history of her involvement in fighting against the injustices of slavery. Bernier's work in collecting these stories, writings, letters, and illustrations spans over three decades and carried her through public and private as well as digital and print archives to gather a comprehensive picture of the Douglass family's life and work. Ultimately, this collection aims to combat the white supremacist, revisionist tactic of erasing the fact that the liberation movement bearing the Douglass name was a family affair, not simply the work of one man"-- Provided by publisher.
