Frederick Douglass

In September 1838, Frederick Douglass jumped aboard a train leaving Baltimore. He faced a long and dangerous journey as a runaway slave, but Douglass believed freedom was worth the risk. When he reached New York City, Douglass basked in his newfound freedom. He worked hard and risked his life to end slavery in the United States, and he became one of the most famous abolitionists, writers, and orators in American history.

Michael A. Schuman has written several biographies for Enslow Publishers, Inc., including Barack Obama: "We Are One People" and Louis Armstrong: "Jazz Is Played From the Heart."
