What is Douglass?

  • Frederick Douglass was a previously enslaved man who became a celebrated activist, author, and public speaker. He evolved into a leader in the abolitionist activity, which sought to end the method of slavery, before and during the Civil War.
  • In his three records, and his countless articles, lectures, and letters, Douglass vigorously asserted against slavery. He sought to indicate that it was cruel, strange, ungodly, immoral, and oppressive.
  • After Douglass escaped, he wanted to advance freedom for all slaves. He publicized a newspaper in Rochester, New York, named The North Star. It got its name because slaves running at night followed the North Star in the sky to liberation.
