Today, we honor Frederick Douglass — a towering voice in American history whose words and actions helped change the course of a nation. Born into slavery, Douglass escaped and became one of the most powerful abolitionists, writers, and speakers of the 19th century. Through his speeches, newspapers, and autobiographies, he exposed the brutal realities of slavery, challenged injustice, and demanded freedom, equality, and dignity for all. Frederick Douglass showed the world that truth has power — and that courage, intellect, and persistence can move history forward. Today, we reflect on his legacy and the enduring impact of his fight for justice.
