Frederick Douglass Historic Site - Cedar Hill, Anacostia, Washington DC
Frederick Douglass (1818 – 1895), a former slave who escaped to his freedom in 1838, spent his life fighting for the abolitian of slavery and the promotion of equal rights between blacks and whites, men and women. With a brilliant mind, he self taught himself to read and write, during a time when it was illegal for slaves to do so. Till today, he is deeply revered for his impact on American history and social change.
