#OnThisDay in 1895, Frederick Douglass passed away at his home in Washington, D.C. A towering figure in the abolition and civil rights movements, Douglass was born into slavery but escaped and became one of the most influential orators and writers of his time. As a passionate advocate for justice and equality, he dedicated his life to advocating for the rights of African Americans. His powerful speeches, such as “What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?” challenged the nation to confront the hypocrisy of freedom while millions remained enslaved.
