Who was Frederick Douglass?
Frederick Douglass (1818–1895) escaped slavery in Maryland at twenty and became the most photographed and most widely heard American of his century — orator, editor, and author of three autobiographies that put a first-person voice to what slavery was. He advised presidents and never stopped holding the country to its own stated principles.
