North Star  

Definition

  • The first edition of Frederick Douglass's North Star newspaper was published in Rochester, New York, on December 3, 1847. Douglass had moved from New Bedford, Massachusetts, to Rochester so that the circulation of his paper would not interfere with that of the Liberator or the Anti-Slavery Standard, papers heavily influenced by William Lloyd Garrison and other white Boston abolitionists.
