Fredrick Douglass

By S.M.


    Hello I am someone. But sadly I won’t tell whom. I was born in February 1817. I was born in a town in Easton. My dad had died and I was only a few weeks old when I was separated from my mother. I was looked after by my grandma. I was about six years old when my grandma took me to a plantation and just left me there. I was betrayed. Then I was sent to Baltimore where my master taught me how to read and write. But my master’s husband probated her to teach me. So I gave away food in exchange for reading and writing lesson. I knew how to read and write I purchased a copy of THE COULMBIAN ORATOR. I was 13 by the way. I was very good at giving speeches I also became a field worker. I was also a freedom fighter. My challenges were to learn how to read and write. And the most horrifying conditions in Easton. And when I was separated from my mother. I was also a woman right’s fighter. Who am I? Fedrick Douglass
