Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is a memoir and discourse on slavery and abolition by Frederick Douglass. It was first published in 1845. Douglass emphasizes the dangers that slavery poses to all aspects of society and identifies education as a significant means with which to bring down that institution. Recounting events from his experience, Douglass reveals that slave owners—even those that present themselves as devout and pious—face a corruption of values that includes the effort to dehumanize enslaved people by keeping them illiterate and uneducated.
