Frederick Douglas

Frederick Douglas, born a slave, managed to learn how to read and escaped from slavery to the North. There he became an eloquent abolitionist, who spoke and the North and overseas. He became personally acquainted with President Lincoln and lived to see the end of slavery, but not the establishment of full civil rights, in the United States.

Hello David! How's things? This is an amazing portrait of a very great man. I've read a lot about him. It's a brilliant work and you should be proud of it.
