Frederick Douglass. I was born Frederick Bailey on February 7, 1817 in Tukahoe,Maryland. I changed my name from Frederick Bailey to Frederick Douglass.
http://www.flagday.org/Pages/Lessons_bios/Douglass_bio.html

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: The Frederick Douglass National Historic Site is dedicated to preserving the legacy of the most famous African American of the 19th Century. Frederick Douglass' life spanned nearly eighty years, from the time that slavery was universal in American states to the time it was becoming a memory. Douglass freed himself from slavery and through decades of tireless efforts he helped to free millions more. His life was a testament tocourage and persistence that continues to serve as an inspiration to those who struggle in the cause of liberty and justice. Frederick Douglass lived and worked in Rochester, NY for most of his public career. After the close of the Civil War he moved to Washington, DC to carry on his work on behalf of African Americans. He served Washington in many ways, in international affairs, in the Council of Government for the District of Columbia, and finally as US Marshal for the District. In 1877 he purchased the home which he named CedarHill, the location of the Frederick Douglass National Historic Site.

Extractions: 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, Aulds 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.

Extractions: The Search In 1991, the Rochester City Council established a committee to study the creation of a Frederick Douglass Museum. The Committee has been chaired by Council Member Maxine Childress Brown. Since 1991, the Committee has surveyed other museums; has sought input from members of the community; has studied the scope and design of museums; and has looked for an appropriate museum site which would be accessible to all members of the community. On November 17, 1994, the Committee held a public reception at City Hall and announced its decision to proceed with the creation of the Frederick Douglass Museum and Cultural Center, and to locate the Museum in the Talman Building located at 25 East Main Street in downtown Rochesterthe building in which Frederick Douglass maintained his office and published his newspapers, The North Star and Frederick Douglass' Paper There is no permanent institution or establishment in Rochester, New York or in this country which adequately pays tribute to Frederick Douglass. He was a captive person who escaped the physical bonds of slavery. He chose Rochester as his home, where he would raise his family, publish his newspapers, and be laid to rest. His life tells a story which should never be forgotten. It is a story of slavery and discrimination, and a constant struggle for freedom and equality. It is also a story about the people with whom Douglass lived and worked, and the contributions which they made to this country's history and the development of a free society.

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. TM Other educational search engines:

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.
