Before Nelson Mandela triumphed over apartheid, before Malcolm X divined that knowledge was power, before Martin Luther King had a dream...there was Frederick Douglass (1818-1895).
Frederick Douglass was a passionate leader in the early fight for civil rights. He was also in the political trenches with the first American women's rights activists, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton...laying a foundation for modern feminism.
Frederick Douglass was an elegant orator and provocative abolitionist. An escaped slave whose freedom was bought by supporters he met on a speaking tour in England, Douglass became a journalist, publisher, diplomat and an unceasing voice for civil rights - the hallmark of a free society.
