Active Minds: Frederick Douglass In-Person

Born into slavery in Maryland, Frederick Douglass escaped to Massachusetts where he rose to prominence as an eloquent writer, orator and leader of the abolitionist movement. He served as adviser to six U.S. presidents including Abraham Lincoln, who referred to him as “my friend Douglass.” He also took up the mantle of Women’s Suffrage in support of the work of Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and others. Join Active Minds as we explore the remarkable life of Frederick Douglass.
