Frederick Douglass
(February 14, 1818 - February 20, 1895)
"Without struggle,
there can be no progress."
The life and words of Frederick Douglass teach us that life may be a struggle, but that through perseverence and faith in ourselves we can hurdle all obstacles. As a man who, once a slave, gained freedom and became very influencial, he is an inspiration for all races to break our chains and realize our potential.
