Author : Frederick Douglass

Frederick Douglass, born Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey in Maryland in 1818, was a former slave who emerged as a prominent abolitionist, editor, and advocate for women's rights. After escaping slavery at the age of 20, he adopted the name Frederick Douglass and dedicated himself to the fight against oppression, becoming an influential speaker and writer. His first autobiography, "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: An American Slave," was published in 1845, paving the way for his later works. In 1847, he co-founded the anti-slavery newspaper, "North Star," and passionately supported women’s suffrage, notably speaking at the first women's rights convention in Seneca Falls in 1848. Douglass held various significant roles throughout his life, including U.S. marshal for the District of Columbia and minister resident and consul-general to Haiti. His legacy endures, and his home in Washington, D.C., is recognized as a national historic site. Douglass passed away in 1895, leaving behind a profound impact on American society.
