    Author Bio
    Frederick Douglass was an abolitionist, editor, orator, author, statesman, and reformer. William Wells Brown escaped from slavery to become a prominent abolitionist, lecturer, novelist, playwright, and historian. Harriet E. Wilson, a former slave, was the first female African-American novelist.
    A towering figure in African-American history, W. E. B. Du Bois (1868–1963) created a substantial literary legacy beyond such seminal works as The Souls of Black Folk and Suppression of the African Slave-Trade to the United States of America, 1638–1870, both available as Dover Thrifts. This volume highlights his other nonfiction writings and should be of great value to students in secondary school and college as well as to general readers.
    Bob Blaisdell is Professor of English at the City University of New York's Kingsborough College and the editor of many Thrift Editions and other books, including New York: The Big Apple Quote Book.
