The Life of Frederick Douglass

He was the first African American nominated for vice president of the United States. He escaped enslavement to become one of America's most prominent abolitionists, an advisor to Lincoln... and a Republican statesman.
This is the story of Frederick Douglass.
Frederick Douglass Family Initiatives (FDFI) is an Abolitionist and AntiRacist non-profit organization founded by direct descendants of Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington. Headquartered in Rochester, NY, FDFI is focused on the struggle for racial equity and an end to human exploitation.

[@Mr.Rocklight]

I have such respect and affection and admiration for a special strong intellectual person with honesty with truth ❤

[@thenobleone-3384]

Like myself Frederick's parents didn't look the same I call myself both Black and Middle Eastern. It wasn't easy growing up trying to fit in with both Black and Arab people. What gave me strength was believing in myself even when people doubted me

[@Mr.Rocklight]

Aren't too many people on this Planet Earth with his integrity ❤

[@thenobleone-3384]

He was born into Slavery but escaped and he taught himself to read and write.

[@angelavogt9086]

Hands down the best video for Intro to Douglass for my sophomores. There is so much info packed into this 8 minutes, I make a group competition out of students finding the information that is most impressive and significant about Douglass (I am the judge of which answers qualify as "significant" after students tell me why their chosen fact makes him such an impressive person). :-)

[@Mr.Rocklight]

❤ Great!!

[@jenniferreed8135]

Amazing Video, Thank You

[@Nonamearisto]

You forgot that the rest of the "what is the 4th of July to a slave" speech ends with him defending the country and its promise of freedom in spite of its current problems.

[@BrianSmyth]

Yes this brute America is completely biased and brainwashed by the Democrat institutions of today so sad but this is the battle we fight the information battle the rewriting of history by the democrat party currently at work today

[@jadavison]

The party switch/flip is a myth. Do better than perpetuate a lie.

[@shaheenshad5012]

Its certainly not a myth, the then democrat states are all now republican and red states become blue.

[@Rico-Suave_]

Great video, thank you very much , note to self(nts) watched all of it 2:50

[@jamstagerable]

"The parties flipped" 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@chasharabinowitz2109]

Excellent video! Thank you! I wish you wouldn't have ended it the way you did (bringing in your political views, true or otherwise) but thank you for this. I'll be sharing it with my students today. Thank you.

[@sebastianacenas6888]

[@officeofjohn-patricemin.890]

[How hard is it breaking the stereotype?]

[@Mr.Rocklight]

Today

[@HankPlaysTank]

What a great video until your last comment 😆 I believe Frederick Douglass would look at the current political climate and repeat his words about being Republican. Ask yourself, who wants to separate everyone by color, sex and class these days?

[@FrederickSmith-jq7jn]

I was named after your great great great grandfather
