fredrick douglass

fredrick douglass born into slavery turn his story around and is considered one of the greatest abolitionist in american history. i really didn’t know that he was a supporter of women rights and rights for the irish. after reading about him and learning about his life it doesn’t surprise me because of the things he did and how great of a man he was even though he experienced the hardships he faced as a slave. normally you would think someone who was a slave he would be mad and want revenge for the things that were done to him. but fredrick douglass was better than that and he strive for better and never hated the white man for what he did he actually accepted the fact that they were regular people of that era. as a whole modern activist don’t lend their support to help others i believe everyone just wants to get their agenda across and can care less about the next man. i really don’t know what he will say about the civl rights movement but I’m sure he would have played apart in the situation.
