Frederick Douglass (1818-1895) escaped from slavery in 1838, and became a national leader of the abolitionist movement in Massachusetts and New York. Famed for his oratory skills and anti slavery publications, he captured the attention of Americans across the country. He worked closely with Abraham Lincoln on the topic of African American soldiers, and after the war he worked to achieve equality for both African-Americans and women. He served as president of the Reconstruction-era Freedman's Savings Bank as well as a brief period as chargé d'affaires for the Dominican Republic.

This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
