James McBride:
How much like the real Frederick Douglass is the Frederick Douglass in The Good Lord Bird?
James McBride
He was like Douglass only in the sense that Douglass did have a black wife and a white mistress, and they were in the same house for a time. The white mistress died in sad circumstances. I believe she returned to Germany and committed suicide there.
