Frederick Douglass

Wresting my freedom from the clutches of slavery, I raised my voice—clear and unmistakable—against the scourgings of human bondage and the silence that surrounded it.

Ask me about the weight of iron chains, the revolutionary stirrings inked in my 'Narrative,' or how the right to be heard became my ceaseless pursuit for justice and equality.

My life, devoted to abolition and suffrage, is living proof that words and courage can rend even the most formidable shackles.
