The Public Debates of Frederick Douglass and Martin Delany
The Public Debates of Frederick Douglass and Martin Delany
This lecture will contextualize Harriet Beecher Stowe and the novel, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, within the debates between Martin Delany and Frederick Douglass. Both African American leaders publicly disagreed on the role of Stowe as an ally, Stowe’s literary depiction of enslaved African Americans, and Stowe as a credible spokesperson for slavery.
