Frederick Douglass' journey out of slavery and into the most powerful rooms
in the country is a story of tenacity, luck and self-liberation. Hear the story of
his improbable rise with Douglass' great-great-great-grandson, Ken Morris; Douglass'
Pulitzer-prize-winning biographer, David Blight, and Emmy-award winning actor
Jeffrey Wright, who's lent his voice to Douglass for HBO and Apple Books. "He's a
founding father of the American conscious.” Wright says of Douglass on Making.
“That's how I view him.”
