"Reconstruct[s] Douglass's life in the nation's capital, both at home and in the halls of power, in ways that no other biographer has done" (Leigh Fought, author of Women in the World of Frederick Douglass).
The remarkable journey of Frederick Douglass from fugitive slave to famed orator and author is well recorded. Yet little has been written about Douglass's final years in Washington, DC. Journalist John Muller explores how Douglass spent the last eighteen years of his life professionally and personally in his home, Cedar Hill, in Anacostia. The ever-active Douglass was involved in local politics, from aiding in the early formation of Howard University to editing a groundbreaking newspaper to serving as marshal of the District. During this time, his wife of forty-four years, Anna Murray, passed away, and eighteen months later, he married Helen Pitts, a white woman. Unapologetic for his controversial marriage, Douglass continued his unabashed advocacy for the rights of African Americans and women and his belief in American exceptionalism. Through meticulous research, Muller has created a fresh and intimate portrait of Frederick Douglass of Anacostia.

"Muller's book connects Douglass to the city and neighborhood the way no other project has yet been able to . . . you're able to re-imagine the man and re-consider the possibilities of the place he once lived." —Martin Austermuhle, DCist
