道格拉斯 Frederick Douglass

黑人维权者

Douglass, whose original name was Frederick Augustus Bailey (我也没记住这个- -), was born in 1817 in Talbot County, Maryland. He was born a slave due to the law that children followed the status of their mothers. At the age of seven or eight, Frederick was sent to Baltimore to the home of Hugh and Sophia Auld. Sophia Auld began to teach Frederick to read from Bible until her husband forbade such instruction. Having used the books belonging to Sophia Auld's son to teach himself secretly, Frederick had already learned basic literacy skills. By standing the work The Columbian, which he bought as his first book, Frederick became convinced of the injustice of slavery and the right of all people to be free. From the book he also learned public speaking techniques that would later make him one of the greatest orators of his age. (“教育”/“知识”使人“改变” 3个点都有)

When Frederick was 17, the Auld found him too independent and sent him to work for Edward Covey, a 'slave breaker' who specialized in shattering the spirit of rebellious slaves. Covey had Frederick beaten daily for the slightest violation of impossibly strick rules. After nearly 6 months Frederick resisted Covey, wrestling him to a dra in a fight, after which Covey never attempted to beat him again. Frederick described his conflict with Covey as 'the turning point of my life as a slave'. Before the battle Frederick believed he was 'nothing', but after it, he emphatically wrote :'I was a man now.' (这个..自己看吧 凑字数/ 自我认知/ 改变 the achievement of self-worth causes people to change之类的都可以)

He made his way to the way to the home of David Ruggles, one of the leading black abolitionists in the nation, and began to work for the abolition of slavery. He wrote 3 autobiographies, which were widely read, and published a newspaper that discussed the evils of slavery and discrimination. Later as the agent for the lager American Anti-Slavery Society, he traveled throughout much of the North, speaking at antislavery meetings, giving public lectures and helping to recruit members for the societies.
