An American social reformer, orator, writer and statesman. 
Frederick Douglass (born Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey, February 1818 – February 20, 1895) was an American social reformer, orator, writer and statesman. After escaping from slavery, he became a leader of the abolitionist movement, gaining note for his dazzling oratory and incisive antislavery writing. He stood as a living counter-example to slaveholders' arguments that slaves did not have the intellectual capacity to function as independent American citizens. In fact, even many Northerners found it hard to believe that such a great orator could possibly have been a slave.

Here are some famous quotes by Frederick Douglass.

We have to do with the past only as we can make it useful to the present and the future.

It is not light that we need but fire; it is not the gentle shower but thunder. We need the storm the whirlwind and the earthquake.
