Frederick Douglass National Historic Site: New England
built 274 days ago
Due to the notoriety surrounding the publication of “The Narrative,” the newfound freedom of Frederick Douglass was in imminent danger. He decided to spend a few years abroad in Great Britain. Here were some recollections from his experience in England.
Douglass later became the publisher of a series of newspapers: The North Star, Frederick Douglass Weekly, Frederick Douglass' Paper, Douglass' Monthly and New National Era. The motto of The North Star was "Right is of no Sex — Truth is of no Color — God is the Father of us all, and we are all brethren."
