Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass

Frederick Douglass's life journey from slavery to freedom is marked by his powerful oratory and advocacy against slavery. Born as Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey in Maryland, he escaped to New York City in 1838 and married Anna Murray. His compelling speech at a Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society convention led to his employment as an agent, where his eloquence prompted skepticism about his past as a slave. To validate his experiences, he penned "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass," sharing his story and insights on the horrors of slavery.
