Behind the Name
Frederick Douglass was an escaped slave who became an activist, author, and public speaker. Douglass moved to New Bedford, MA where he began attending meetings of the abolitionist movement which eventually lead to him publishing his own newsletter, the North Star. Through his writing and speeches, he revealed a man who believed in the ideals on which America was founded but understood democracy would never be a destination of comfort or repose, but a journey of ongoing self-criticism and struggle. A fact you may not know – Douglass became the first African American to receive a vote for President of the United States during roll call at the 1888 Republican National Convention.
