    Learned a ton about Frederick Douglas today! I knew he was an author (super famous for his first autobiography, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, Written by Himself), however he was MUCH more. Mr. Douglas was also an abolitionist, orator, newspaper publisher. He became the first Black U.S. marshal and was the most photographed American man of the 19th century.
