Autor

Frederick Douglass (c. 1817-1895) was the son of an enslaved African American mother and a white father. As a young boy he defied the law by learning to read and write. He credits his literacy as the key to freedom. He became an outspoken abolitionist lecturer, advocate for women's rights, and enormously influential author of hundreds of books, essays, and speeches.
