About Frederick Douglass The following is information about Fredrick Douglass, the namesake of the Douglass Community Association and the Douglass Community Center. Frederick Douglass Frederick Washington Bailey (later known as Frederick Douglass), the son of a white man and a black slave, was born in Tukahoe, Maryland, on 7th February 1817. He never knew his father and was separated from his mother at an early age. His grandmother raised him on a plantation until the age of eight when he was sent to work for a man named Hugh Auld, in Baltimore. Fortunately for Frederick, Auld’s wife defied state law by teaching him to read. When Auld died in 1833, Frederick was returned to his Maryland plantation. Five years later he escaped to New York City where he changed his name to Frederick Douglass. Later he moved to New Bedford, Massachusetts, where he worked as a laborer. Frederick Douglass was a brave and noble man whose works arrived in Michigan via the Underground Railroad . Because he had experienced slavery, he became an anti-slavery activist who led many people to freedom. Sojourner Truth , of Battle Creek, MI, and Harriett Tubman , of Dorchester, MD, were on the receiving end of the Underground Railroad; able to see the faces of freedom while Frederick only saw the despair and pain of the slaves. His only reward was a simple statement from the people he was helping, "God Bless you." Because he was on the front end of the Underground Railroad, all he knew was that these people desperately needed his help.

FREDERICK DOUGLASS I was born Frederick Bailey on February 7, 1817 in Tukahoe, Maryland. I was born a slave and my owner allowed another slave to treat me badly. My life was a very unhappy one. When I was a teenager I was sent to Baltimore to work at the docks loading and unloading huge ships. I wanted to learn to read, and was able to do so while I was in Baltimore using a book on public speaking. In 1838, when I was twenty-one years old, I was able to run away and escape slavery. I changed my name from Frederick Bailey to Frederick Douglass. I went to New Bedford, Massachusetts where I got a job as a laborer at one dollar a day, and I continued my education. I attended an anti-slavery convention in Nantucket, Massachusetts in 1841. I felt very strongly about slavery and made a speech against slavery at the convention. The others attending the convention liked my speech so much they encouraged me to speak throughout the northern states against slavery. My name became a symbol of freedom and achievement. I believed all men were equal. I continued to speak and write about the equality of all people. In 1847, I became a conductor of the Underground Railroad in Rochester, N.Y. and helped many slaves from the South to escape to freedom. In 1860, I campaigned for Abraham Lincoln for president. I kept working for the freedom of slaves and for the poor white people of the South. I did not favor violence to gain freedom.

Frederick Douglass by Joey The person I am writing about for Black History Month is Frederick A. Douglass. He was born in 1817, in Maryland. He was part of the Underground Railroad. He helped at least three black slaves escape to Canada. He started his own newspaper called the North Star. He tried to stop slavery. He said that helping others was the way to get rid of discrimination. Frederick Douglass worked hard when the Civil War began. He tried to persuade President Lincoln to accept black enlisted men in to war. When blacks were permitted to enlist, Douglass helped in their struggle for equal pay. After that, Douglas sought to better the conditions of the freed man. Back to Black History Month Back to Mrs. Huber's Page

From hearsay, he estimates that he was born around 1817 and that his father was probably his first white master, Captain Anthony. His mother, Harriet Bailey, was a field hand who wasn't allowed to see him very often; she died when Douglass was seven years old. Children of mixed-race parentage are always classified as slaves, Douglass says, and this class of mulattos is increasing rapidly. Douglass implies that these mulatto slaves are, for the most part, the result of white masters raping black slaves. He tells about the brutality of his master's overseer, Mr. Plummer, as well as the story of Aunt Hester, who was brutally whipped by Captain Anthony because she fancied another slave. Captain Anthony apparently wanted her for himself exclusively.

He eventually made his way to New Bedford, Massachusetts, where he pursued his education while working as a laborer. In New Bedford he began to learn more about the abolitionist movement and to define his life's mission, largely by reading William Lloyd Garrison's paper, Liberator . About his first exposure to the Liberator Douglass wrote: "The paper became my meat and my drink. My soul was set all on fire. Its sympathy for my brethren in bonds - its scathing denunciations of slaveholders - its faithful exposures of slavery - and its powerful attacks upon the upholders of the institution - sent a thrill of joy through my soul, such as I had never felt before!" Douglass joined in the anti-slavery movement through black abolitionist groups in New Bedford. After making a moving speech in 1841 at the annual meeting of the Anti- Slavery Society in New Bedford, Douglass was invited to become a full-time agent of the Massachusetts Anti Slavery Society. This marked the beginning of his remarkable career as an extraordinary orator, author, editor, and later diplomat and public servant. Frederick Douglass was a life-long crusader for freedom, justice, and equal rights for African Americans.

Section Objectives Section Review Elizabeth Marmesh Patrick Hassell " We, (colored people of the United States of America) are the most wretched, degraded and abject set of beings that ever lived since the world began, and that the white Americans having reduced us to the wretched state of slavery, treat us in that condition more cruel than any heathen nation did any people whom it had reduced to our condition." David Walker Appeals to the Colored Citizens of the World , 1829 (Wilentz 473) White groups were not alone in their opposition to slavery. Free blacks gave enthusiastic support to abolition. Before William Lloyd Garrison was even born, blacks had been speaking out against slavery. Black abolitionists educated themselves and their white counterparts. Samuel E. Cornish and James Forten are thought to have influenced Garrison into opposing slavery (Bennett 144). During and after the Revolutionary War, blacks sought the abolition of slavery by petitioning the state and federal governments to outlaw the slave trade and begin a program of emancipation (Bennett 144). There were various types of attempts to avoid the persecution of slavery. In 1815, Captain Paul Cuffe sailed to Sierra Leone with thirty-eight black American settlers (Voices of Triumph 90). Cuffe believed that the only way for blacks to truly be free was for them to be totally independent. The mission, however, was unsuccessful. Cuffe died in Massachusetts in 1817 (Bennett 146). Daniel Coker, an African Methodist Episcopal leader and John B. Russwurm led other expeditions to Africa.
