{"product_id":"lincoln-and-douglass-an-american-friendship","title":"Lincoln and Douglass: An American Friendship","description":"Poet Nikki Giovanni and illustrator Byran Collier, the acclaimed team behind Rosa, winner of the Coretta Scott King Award and a Caldecott Honor book, join forces once more to portray this historic friendship at a unique moment in time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur 16th president is known for many things: He delivered the Emancipation Proclamation and the Gettysburg Address. He was tall and skinny and notoriously stern-looking. And he also had some very strong ideas about abolishing slavery, ideas which brought him into close contact with another very visible public figure: Frederick Douglass. Douglass was born a slave but escaped in 1838 and became one of the central figures in the American abolitionist movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLincoln and Douglass offers a glimpse into the unusual friendship between two great American leaders. At a time when racial tensions were high and racial equality was not yet established, they formed a strong bond over shared ideals and worked alongside each other for a common goal.","brand":"Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47854242037986,"sku":"MTO-MACMILLAN-2026-06-2-5.40-460","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/9898\/5881\/files\/book_459_UwCTa78tB.jpg?v=1780448695","url":"https:\/\/layitflat.com\/products\/lincoln-and-douglass-an-american-friendship","provider":"Lay it Flat Publishing Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
