Preferred term

Frederick Douglass  

Definition

  • Frederick Douglass was a slave turned statesman whose speeches and writings played a significant role in the fight against slavery in the United States. Although Douglass was not a student of philosophy in the scholarly sense, his considerable influence on American political thought is evident in the writings of W. E. B. Du Bois and other later thinkers on race. [Source: Encyclopedia of Political Theory; Douglass, Frederick (1818–1895)]
