Question:
Frederick Douglass’s Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave is a
meditation on the workings of mental slavery while he is physically enslaved. It teaches us what it took for him to achieve the mental freedom that led to his physical freedom.
What strategies do masters use to try and instill a mental acquiescence to slavery in the enslaved? What strategies did Douglass use to extricate himself from mental slavery even while still in physical bondage? What was the key strategy of liberation that extricated Douglass from the mental prison of slavery and set him on the path to his escape to the North? If Malcolm X was discussing the Narrative of the Life of Frederick
Douglass, which one of Douglass’s strategies of liberation would Malcolm argue was key to Douglass’s mental liberation and the eventual liberation of Black people in the modern world? Would James Baldwin disagree? Why? Finally, given that some of
Douglass’s strategies were not available to Sojourner Truth, how did she free herself
from mental slavery without those tools? What concept might tie together what
Frederick Douglass, Malcolm X, and Sojourner Truth believed was essential to mental
freedom?
