Frederick Douglass used his remarkable voice to fight for the rights of African Americans. While a slave in Maryland, he mastered the alphabet at a young age, and began reading speeches aloud from a book when he was twelve. After escaping to New York as a young man, Douglass declared,"A free state around me, and a free earth under my feet! What a moment this is to me!" He became an abolitionist and spread his message of equality as an extaordinary public speaker, touring both the United Stated and Europe. Find out more about this remarkable man who also published an important autobiography, was an advocate for women's rights, and aided the Underground Railroad.
