Frederick Douglass: From Enslaved to Diplomat!
Saturday, April 11
2:00pm - 3:00pm
Aberdeen Library
Meeting RoomVivian Fisher of Enoch Pratt Free Library will examine the life events of Frederick Douglass as his journey takes him from an enslaved boy on the Eastern Shore of Maryland to one of the highest-ranking African American men of the 19th century. We will discover Douglass’s impact on the world as he fought for the rights of full citizenship for all in his country of birth.
His biography is fascinating, from the time he learned to read and write to becoming an editor of two newspapers during the 19th century and then a United States diplomat, serving a country that once considered him chattel property.
