Omschrijving

Working with family descendants and based on thirty years of research digging through public and private archives, Celeste-Marie Bernier presents the first standalone biography of Anna Murray Douglass, wife and co-revolutionary of Frederick Douglass, honoring her history-making role as a campaigner, liberator, and freedom-fighter.

Anna Murray Douglass was born legally free in Maryland to Mary and Bambarra Murray. From working with her future husband, Frederick Douglass, to secure his self-liberation from enslavement to converting her family homes to command centers for the Underground Railroad, she dedicated her entire life to the fight for all freedoms and to supporting loved ones and strangers alike in their fight for equal, independent lives. Her deeds have long gone unsung until now.

In this first-ever standalone biography of the wife and co-revolutionary of Frederick Douglass, Celeste-Marie Bernier provides a detailed and illustrated history of Anna Murray Douglass's leadership roles in fighting against the injustices of enslavement, racism, and white supremacy, as well as how she laid the foundation for her family to follow in her and her husband's footsteps. After over three decades of archival research, Bernier presents a wide-ranging collection of stories, writings, letters, and photographs in a comprehensive and illuminating biography of Anna Murray Douglass's life and work as an educator, activist, intellectual, orator, political thinker, artist, philosopher, and strategist. Ultimately, Bernier aims to combat the widespread misrepresentation that the liberation movement bearing the Douglass name was the work of one individual when it was, in reality, a family institution. Anna Murray Douglass is the first book in a ten-volume collection detailing the life and work of the entire Douglass family including their children, Rosetta, Lewis Henry, Frederick, Jr., Charles Remond and Annie Douglass, all freedom-fighters in their own right.
