- 1994 ----- color ----- 89 min ----- vhs
- Frederick Douglass (1818-1895) was a passionate leader in the early fight for civil rights. He was also in the political trenches with the first American women's rights activists, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton . . . laying a foundation for modern feminism. Frederick Douglass was an elegant orator and provocative abolitionist. An escaped slave whose freedom was bought by supporters he met on a speaking tour in England, Douglass became a journalist, publisher, diplomat and an unceasing voice for civil rights--the hallmark of a free society.
