Parisa Majumdar _ Student - GreenHopeES

Frederick Douglass, born as Frederick Augustus Bailey, was born in Tuckahoe, Maryland. He was known as a major abolitionist in the 19th century. Frederick was a slave, so he worked on many different plantations in his childhood, and as he got older, the idea of freedom had fascinated him. He loved the fact of being an abolitionist and ending slavery! Frederick knew that his answer to achieving freedom was being able to be literate. In other words, having the ability to read and write, because that would help him have a voice to communicate with white people. This book is about him, an American abolitionist, who changed the lives of all African Americans today.
