February 14th 1817 - Possible birthday of Frederick Douglass Possible birthday of Frederick Douglass, abolitionist and orator. Born into slavery as Frederick Baile, Douglass purchased his freedom in 1845 and went on to become the greatest abolitionist of his time.  |

It's insane to me how much has changed in the past 150 years.
We don't know his birthday for sure. There are no exact records. A lot of "photos" were in the form of paintings. Etc.

Where justice is denied, where poverty is enforced, where ignorance prevails, and where any one class is made to feel that society is an organized conspiracy to oppress, rob and degrade them, neither persons nor property will be safe. Frederick Douglass

People might not get all they work for in this world, but they must certainly work for all they get. Frederick Douglass

I love when you guys start sharing quotes. I have one.
Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. Frederick Douglass

Mixed feelings about this one.
That which is inhuman cannot be divine.
