Useful Links : Portraits Frederick Douglass by Alan Rice Lecturer in American Studies and Cultural Theory, University of Central Lancashire "You cannot write the bloody laws of slavery on those restless billows. The Ocean, if not the land is free." Frederick Douglass, born a slave in Maryland in 1818 waxed so lyrically about the ocean because its traditions had provided him with a free sailor's papers, he escaped northward by train and ferry. His attainment of freedom in 1838 was, however, only the first step in a journey to maturity in which the trip across the ocean would play a foundational part. In August 1845, by now a leading Black Abolitionist and veteran of North American speaking tours, he boarded the Cambria on a visit to Britain which was to serve the dual purpose of getting him out of the country, as his newly-published autobiography exposed him to the danger of re-enslavement, and allowing the British Public their first exposure to his exceptional presence and fiery rhetoric. His fine qualities were not, however, universally admired and American prejudice dogged his journey. On the

Box , New City, New York 10956 Biographical Articles on Frederick Douglass by Marianne Cucolo The Rockland County Frederick Douglass Republican Local Chapter held its first meeting at County Headquarters. This latest addition to the list of Republican organizations in the county is most welcomed, and viewed as a necessary component to the future success of Rockland Republican Politics. Lawrence C. Diggs Jr., founder and president of the state's organization, attended this first meeting. Mr. Diggs gave an inspirational welcoming speech to a packed room of both new members and Republican officials. Mr. Diggs pledged his support to this new local chapter. He promised to help and guide this organization in any way he could. The basic premise of this Council is the belief that the two-party system is good for African Americans as it is good for America. THE ROCKLAND COUNTY FREDERICK DOUGLASS REPUBLICAN COUNCIL is committed to this belief; and only through the active participation in the two-party system can African Americans enhance their economic, social and political upward mobility. "We believe that African Americans place themselves at a gross disadvantage through continued adherence to their one-party allegiance: unquestioned support of the Democratic Party." African Americans have for too long followed and supported the Democrats in Rockland County. They should ask themselves: Has my standard of living and the quality of my life improved over the past twenty years of Democratic control? Do the Democrats deserve the loyalty and exclusivity of the African American vote?

Prepared by: D. L. Oetting Accepted: 1 September 1996 Last updated: 14 June 2002 Home US History Resource Desk Featured Frederick Douglass, "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?" 5 July 1852 Occasion: Meeting sponsored by the Rochester Ladies' Anti-Slavery Society, Rochester Hall, Rochester, N.Y. To illustrate the full shame of slavery, Douglass delivered a speech that took aim at the pieties of the nation the cherished memories of its revolution, its principles of liberty, and its moral and religious foundation. The Fourth of July, a day celebrating freedom, was used by Douglass to remind his audience of liberty's unfinished business.

View off-site links for this era Mr. President, Friends and Fellow Citizens: He who could address this audience without a quailing sensation, has stronger nerves than I have. I do not remember ever to have appeared as a speaker before any assembly more shrinkingly, nor with greater distrust of my ability, than I do this day. A feeling has crept over me, quite unfavorable to the exercise of my limited powers of speech. The task before me is one which requires much previous thought and study for its proper performance. I know that apologies of this sort are generally considered flat and unmeaning. I trust, however, that mine will not be so considered. Should I seem at ease, my appearance would much misrepresent me. The little experience I have had in addressing public meetings, in country school houses, avails me nothing on the present occasion.

According to David J. Brewer, the speech was recorded in December 4, 1860 in William Garrison's Liberator World's Best Orations (St. Louis: Ferd. P. Kaiser, 1899), vol. 5, p. 1906. A Plea for Free Speech in Boston View off-site links for this era But here we are to-day contending for what we thought we gained years ago. The mortifying and disgraceful fact stares us in the face, that though Faneuil Hall and Bunker Hill Monument stand, freedom of speech is struck down. No lengthy detail of facts is needed. They are already notorious; far more so than will be wished ten years hence. These gentlemen brought their respect for the law with them and proclaimed it loudly while in the very act of breaking the law. Theirs was the law of slavery. The law of free speech and the law for the protection of public meetings they trampled under foot, while they greatly magnified the law of slavery. "Liberty is meaningless where the right to utter one's thoughts and opinions has ceased to exist."

An extemporaneous speech before a meeting at Nantucket of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society in 1841 was so effective that he was made one of its agents. Douglass, who had learned to read and write while in the service of a kind mistress in Baltimore, published his Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass in 1845. Fearing capture as a fugitive slave, he spent several years in England and Ireland and returned in 1847, after English friends had purchased his freedom.

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History DOUGLASS, FREDERICK , abolitionist, writer, and orator. Douglass was the most important black American leader of the nineteenth century. Born Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey on Maryland's Eastern Shore, he was the son of a slave woman and, probably, her white master. Upon his escape from slavery at age twenty, he adopted the name of the hero of Sir Walter Scott's The Lady of the Lake. Douglass immortalized his years as a slave in Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave (1845). This and two subsequent autobiographies, My Bondage and My Freedom (1855) and The Life and Times of Frederick Douglass (1881), mark his greatest contributions to American culture. Written as antislavery propaganda and personal revelation, they are regarded as the finest examples of the slave narrative tradition and as classics of American autobiography. Douglass's life as a reformer ranged from his abolitionist activities in the early 1840s to his attacks on Jim Crow and lynching in the 1890s. For sixteen years he edited an influential black newspaper and achieved international fame as an orator and writer of great persuasive power. In thousands of speeches and editorials he levied an irresistible indictment against slavery and racism, provided an indomitable voice of hope for his people, embraced antislavery politics, and preached his own brand of American ideals. In the 1850s he broke with the strictly moralist brand of abolitionism led by William Lloyd Garrison; he supported the early women's rights movement; and he gave direct assistance to John Brown's conspiracy that led to the raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859.

Frederick Douglass 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. Douglass dedicated his life to crusading for freedom, justice and equality. He was consumed by his work as an abolitionist, orator, writer, reformer, diplomat and statesman. As an abolitionist, he fought successfully to end the institution of slavery. As a reformer, he was a catalyst for a non-violent struggle for desegregation of schools, housing, employment and the right to vote. He wrote and spoke constantly on the need for all people to respect each other and themselves, and the need for education as a way to advance one's self and strengthen our society. He brought honor and recognition to Rochester as a community supportive of and home to those who continually sacrificed and fought to advance the cause of civil rights for all. He brought hope and pride to African Americans; he helped shape their history, heritage and culture; and he worked to promote recognition and respect for African Americans and their contributions to this nation.

Frederick Douglass' "The Heroic Slave": An Annotated Bibliography "The Heroic Slave": Frederick Douglass’ Revolutionary Revision Robin Mac Donald Frederick Douglas' 1852 novella "The Heroic Slave" was his response to the Rochester Ladies' Anti-Slavery Society's request for a submission to be included in their compilation Autographs for Freedom (McFeely 173). This work, which represents the author's only attempt at fiction, was heavily influenced by the historical events which surrounded the actual rebellion led by Madison Washington on the slave ship Creole . Maggie Sale theorizes that Douglas' purpose was to revise the general reportage of the historical rebellion by highlighting the revolutionary quintessence of the insurrectionists. While the popular perception of the occurrence preoccupied itself with Britain's involvement in the incident and disregarded the rebellion's impetus, Douglass' revision emphasizes the protagonist's heroic sublimity and revolutionary aim. Transposing the revolutionary paradigm which was used by slaveholding interests to highlight Great Britain's role, Douglass fundamentally re-interprets the episode by connecting revolutionary objectives to the rebellion. In this way, Douglass is able to define the slave ship insurrection as righteous and quintessentially American (Sale 27).
