In addition to founding a newspaper and penning three autobiographies, he lectured extensively before and during the Civil War, "thundering against slavery," in the words of W. E. B. Du Bois. One of the first critical theorists of photography, Douglass delivered multiple lectures on the topic between 1861 and 1865, including "Pictures and Progress," on the mediums ability to render subjective consciousness in an objective form. He advocated for photographys potential to counteract distorted representations of African Americans and reverse the "social death" caused by slavery.
