http://www.nps.gov/frdo/fdlife.htm

Extractions: [Chronology] Frederick Douglass was born into slavery on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in 1818, and was given the name Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey (Baly), after his mother Harriet Bailey. During the course of his remarkable life he escaped from slavery, became internationally renowned for his eloquence in the cause of liberty, and went on to serve the national government in several official capacities. Through his work he came into contact with many of the leaders of his times. His early work in the cause of freedom brought him into contact with a wide array of abolitionists and social reformers, including William Lloyd Garrison, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, John Brown, Gerrit Smith and many others. As a major Stationmaster on the Underground Railroad he directly helped hundreds on their way to freedom through his adopted home city of Rochester, NY. Renowned for his eloquence, he lectured throughout the US and England on the brutality and immorality of slavery. As a publisher his North Star and Frederick Douglass' Paper brought news of the anti-slavery movement to thousands. Forced to leave the country to avoid arrest after John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry, he returned to become a staunch advocate of the Union cause. He helped recruit African American troops for the Union Army, and his personal relationship with Lincoln helped persuade the President to make Emancipation a cause of the Civil War. Two of Douglass' sons served in the 54th Massachusetts Regiment, which was made up entirely of African American volunteers. The storming of Fort Wagner by this regiment was dramatically portrayed in the film

So long as you remain in ignorance, so long will you fail to command the respect of your fellow men."

http://www.brightmoments.com/blackhistory/nfdougla.html

Extractions: Frederick Douglass Born into slavery, Frederick Douglass lived to become one of the most influential figures in African American history. As a young man and a slave in Maryland, Frederick Douglass was recognized as a bright young man by both blacks and whites. During his life as a slave in Baltimore he learned to read and write and passed his knowledge along to other blacks in Baltimore. Douglass is remembered as a great speaker. His speaking abilities were developed in the secret debating club called the East Baltimore Mental Improvement Society. He escaped from slavery to New Bedford, Massachusetts in 1838. There he discovered the newspaper of the leading white abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison, The Liberator. Douglass and Garrison soon impressed one another and would work together for social reform and the abolition of slavery. Because of his speaking ability, Douglass soon became the major drawing card at meetings of the abolitionist society. A deep melodious voice, grace and a flair for the dramatic would allow Douglass to mesmerize his listeners at the abolitionist meetings.

Extractions: Frederick Douglass was a captive person who escaped the physical bonds of slavery. He chose Rochester as his home, where he would raise his family, publish his newspapers, and be laid to rest. His life tells a story which should never be forgotten. It is a story of slavery and discrimination, and a constant struggle for freedom and equality. It is also a story about the people with whom Douglass lived and worked, and the contributions which they made to this country's history and the development of a free society. Douglass dedicated his life to crusading for freedom, justice and equality. He was consumed by his work as an abolitionist, orator, writer, reformer, diplomat and statesman. As an abolitionist, he fought successfully to end the institution of slavery. As a reformer, he was a catalyst for a non-violent struggle for desegregation of schools, housing, employment and the right to vote. He wrote and spoke constantly on the need for all people to respect each other and themselves, and the need for education as a way to advance one's self and strengthen our society. He brought honor and recognition to Rochester as a community supportive of and home to those who continually sacrificed and fought to advance the cause of civil rights for all. He brought hope and pride to African Americans; he helped shape their history, heritage and culture; and he worked to promote recognition and respect for African Americans and their contributions to this nation.

Extractions: Frederick Douglass stood at the podium, trembling with nervousness. Before him sat abolitionists who had travelled to the Massachusetts island of Nantucket. Only 23 years old at the time, Douglass overcame his nervousness and gave a stirring, eloquent speech about his life as a slave. Douglass would continue to give speeches for the rest of his life and would become a leading spokesperson for the abolition of slavery and for racial equality. The son of a slave woman and an unknown white man, "Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey" was born in February of 1818 on Maryland's eastern shore. He spent his early years with his grandparents and with an aunt, seeing his mother only four or five times before her death when he was seven. (All Douglass knew of his father was that he was white.) During this time he was exposed to the degradations of slavery, witnessing firsthand brutal whippings and spending much time cold and hungry. When he was eight he was sent to Baltimore to live with a ship carpenter named Hugh Auld. There he learned to read and first heard the words abolition and abolitionists. "Going to live at Baltimore," Douglass would later say, "laid the foundation, and opened the gateway, to all my subsequent prosperity." Douglass spent seven relatively comfortable years in Baltimore before being sent back to the country, where he was hired out to a farm run by a notoriously brutal "slavebreaker" named Edward Covey. And the treatment he received was indeed brutal. Whipped daily and barely fed, Douglass was "broken in body, soul, and spirit."
