The Atlantic Monthly, in Gillian B. White's June 16, 2020 article: "163 years of The Atlantic’s writing on race and racism in America: How Did We Get Here?" lists dozens of papers (including this one) highlighting the most important works they've published on race and racism in America. This is one of only seven articles under the heading "Calls for Abolition, Civil War, Emancipation"
There is little this writer can say about Douglass that hasn't already been said. He was an important voice for many many years - for those unfamiliar with him, Wikipedia will provide an introduction and pointers for further research.
Here offered in the original wrappers. Most often found in bound volumes, nice copies are difficult to find. More commonly as here.
