Frederick Douglass

Frederick Douglass is one the most influential people I have ever read about. His actions inspire a lot of what I aspire to.

Douglass was born in February 1818 in Talbot County, Maryland. Douglass, a former abolitionist, was also a writer, preacher, and statesman.

Frederick Douglass escaped slavery on September 3, 1838 by jumping a train then following the Underground Railroad to Pennsylvania.

Douglass passed away on September 3, 1895 in Washington D.C.
