Frederick Douglass was born into slavery, but successfully escaped to the north in 1832 after teaching himself to read and write.

He became a masterful lecturer for the American Anti-Slavery Society and dedicated his life to equality. His writing helped him spread his ideas of justice, and he wrote three autobiographies, which were wildly successful around the world.
