Frederick Douglass (1818-1895) was an African-American former slave who rose to prominence as a highly-regarded writer, orator and statesman in the abolitionist movement. Douglass garnered acclaim for his anti-slavery writings including the Heroic Slave, My Bondage and My Freedom, and A Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, as well as for the newspaper he founded and edited, the North Star.
