FREDERICK DOUGLASS' PAPER, Rochester, New York, Sept. 8, 1854
* Extremely rare publication
We are pleased to offer this exceedingly rare--and highly desirable--newspaper by the famed Frederick Douglass. This weekly title is the continuation of his newspaper "North Star" which began in 1847.
Among the articles: "The Results of Emancipation" "The Fugitive Slave Act--Proposition For Its Repeal" "What Becomes of the Free Colored People" "Colored Emigration Convention" "Aid To Fugitives" "Special Meeting of the American Anti-Slavery Society" "Riot of the Ohio Underground Railroad"
Four pagodas, never bound nor trimmed, very nice condition. Although we have offered a few of this title over the years, this may well be the issue in the best condition.
A very fine and rare opportunity for one of the more sought-after titles of the 19th century.
background: Frederick Douglass published Frederick Douglass’ Paper in Rochester, New York, starting in 1851 as a continuation of his earlier abolitionist work with The North Star. This newspaper was a vital platform advocating for the abolition of slavery, civil rights for African Americans, women’s suffrage, and social justice. Widely read across racial lines, it helped mobilize support for emancipation and equality in the years leading up to the Civil War, making Douglass’s voice a powerful force in the national movement for freedom and justice.
