He was eloquent and articulate - obviously well-educated. And sophisticated, too. He was also a slave who escaped to freedom.But no one believed that, so he published his life story in 1845 to answer the skeptics.

He saw that only knowledge could ensure true freedom."Insightful, comprehensive, dramatic." (Chicago Tribune)
