He worked for a while as a caulker but later joined the antislavery movement. Douglass was an excellent speaker. His audiences were amazed at how well he spoke. It led some of his critics to wonder if he had ever been a slave. To prove that he had, Douglass wrote his autobiography, the Life and Times of Frederick Douglass, in which he chronicled his life from the eastern shores of Maryland to his escape and his life in freedom. That ended the rumors Douglass was an outspoken leader in the fight against slavery and later against racism and prejudice. During his life he was a newspaper publisher, writer, lecturer, adviser to presidents, husband, and father. He advocated the rights of women and fought against the ill treatment of other minorities in the United States. Frederick Douglass had spent all his adult life fighting for freedom and justice in America for all people, men and women. It seemed fitting to many that this man should be honored with a presidential appointment. Amid controversy and criticism from blacks and whites, Douglass accepted President Hayes's appointment as marshal of the District of Columbia. Douglass went on to serve in other governmental posts, including minister and consul general to Haiti.

Her novel approach, Bergner points out, is a “second wave” of Douglass criticism. Among her cohorts she included Deborah McDowell, Jenny Franchot, Valerie Smith, and George P. Cunningham. With her professed use of Freud and Lacan, Bergner concluded Douglass at 28 years old wrote a text that is “an icon of male sufficiency.” The 1845 Narrative , according to Bergner, was designed to “represent the consolidation of masculine identity against the image of a woman’s castrated body.” Bergner's reductionist view of Douglass' life is sustained by a feminist ideology in which man, any man, is the enemy, the center of power, the Phallus of feminine repression.

He remained two years in Great Britain, and in 1847 began at Rochester, New York, the publication of "Frederick Douglass's Paper," whose title was changed to "The North Star," a weekly journal, which he continued for some years. His supposed implication in the John Brown raid in 1859 led Governor Wise, of Virginia, to make a requisition for his arrest upon the governor of Michigan, where he then was, and in consequence of this Mr. Douglass went to England, and remained six or eight months. He then returned to Rochester, and continued the publication of his paper. When the civil war began in 1861 he urged upon President Lincoln the employment of colored troops and the proclamation of emancipation.

    Extractions: Frederick Douglass by Graham Japanese Translation Frederick Douglass was born in Baltimore, Maryland sometime during February of 1817 or 1818. He was born as a slave and raised by his Grandmother until he was six. He was then sent to work by his master. He used the time when he wasn't working to teach himself to read and write. He knew slavery was wrong, so he escaped to the North where slavery was not allowed. He had to change his name from Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey to Frederick Douglass so slave catchers could not find him. Frederick Douglass gave many speeches and published the "North Star newspaper. He wrote about how slavery was wrong and made many people aware of it. One of those people was Abraham Lincoln. Frederick Douglass said, "What is possible for me is possible for any man." Abraham Lincoln must have agreed as he wrote the Emancipation Proclamation which ended slavery.

    Extractions: As a young, free man, Douglass was influenced immensely by New England's abolitionist movement, yet as history shows us, he carried clout of his own. He devoted his entire free life to enable others to enjoy that same freedom; his overall optimism in a time of national crisis showed us his true character. This article will place into historical context Douglass's writings and career and will delve into his complicated relationships with his influences in the abolitionist movement. Frederick Douglass was born into slavery around 1817 or 1818 on a Talbot County, Maryland plantation. In his early teens, Douglass first learned of the concept of abolition (Douglass, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass 42-43). A deeper, optimistic longing for freedom filled Douglass; it is this longing that motivated him to surreptitiously learn to read, write and keep abreast of abolitionist news. After Douglass's escape from slavery and flight to the North in 1838, he settled in New Bedford, Massachusetts. A few months later, he started subscribing to "The Liberator", the newsletter of the American Anti-Slavery Society and the main creative outlet of William Lloyd Garrison, an extreme and fervent abolitionist ("From Slave to Abolitionist/Editor"). Douglass took to the paper and soon became a member of the Anti-Slavery Society. In 1841, Douglass was asked to speak before the Society's annual meeting in New Bedford. It was after this oration, Douglass's first public address, that Garrison acquainted himself with Douglass and took him under his wing. Douglass soon toured with Garrison and other abolitionists, giving speeches and selling subscriptions to "The Liberator" and "The Anti-Slavery Standard", a similar periodical. Until their formal breach in 1851, Garrison and Douglass worked in unison to further the cause of abolitionism.

    Extractions: Mindich argues that a synthesis of journalism and mainstream histories can bring the understanding of Frederick Douglass in particular, and the field of antebellum journalism in general, to a more historically relevant plane. If viewed in terms of a collision between fields, views and ideas, Douglass' work can provide a model for a new synthesis of journalistic ideas. Full Text: To discover how much the field of journalism history is in need of a fundamental revision, thumb through the indices of all the usual suspects and look up references to Frederick Douglass. It is no exaggeration to say that you will find that nearly all the standard journalism histories fail to place him in the context of nineteenth century political reality.1 The corollary is true, too: mainstream histories can help us understand his politics but fail to explain his journalism. This article argues that a synthesis of journalism and mainstream histories can bring Douglass in particular, and the field of antebellum journalism in general, to a more intellectually challenging and historically relevant plane. This is to say that we need to develop a new approach to the journalism of the Jacksonian age and that this approach must be rooted in the strengths of both journalism history and American history. To this end, I have looked at how Douglass in particular and nonpartisanship in general are viewed in the synthesis studies of journalism and mainstream history. I have also surveyed many smaller works in article and monograph form, which I refer to in the course of this study, but my main focus will be on the synthesis histories.

The man who would become one of nineteenth-century America’s most respected citizens knew the painful side of America’s story from personal experience, and wrote about it with deep passion and great skill. Born a slave in Talbot County on the eastern shore of Maryland, Frederick Douglass gives his readers a vivid description of both the landscape and the slaveholding culture that shaped his early life. Douglass bluntly tells his readers not to expect him to say much about his family of origin—genealogical trees did not flourish among slaves. He never met a slave in that part of the country who knew his own age with any degree of certainty, and such questions, when put to the slave masters, were regarded as evidence of an impudent curiosity. By relating his birth to other known events, Frederick placed his birth date as February 1817.

I attended with Fr. Gerard Jean-Juste and others from St. Clare's Parish. We started with prayers in the Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in the center of Bel Air. After prayers we joined the larger crowd outside marching and singing through the streets of the old and quite poor neighborhood. Thousands of people were walking and dancing to the beat of drums, loudly chanting, "Bring Back Titi (Aristide)!!!!" in Creole, French and English. Fr. Jean-Juste has become one of the main voices for democracy in Haiti since his release from prison several weeks ago after 48 days in jail with no charges. He was interviewed two dozen times by local and international media during the walk with the crowd.

The street was packed from side to side with people carrying signs, umbrellas, and handmade cardboard posters all calling for the return of democracy and Aristide. Neighborhood people joined in or clapped and danced from their front steps.
