弗雷德里克道格拉斯--废奴主义领袖

道格拉斯脱逃之后,他想要让所有的奴隶都能得到解放,因此他在纽约的罗契斯特市发行了一份名为「北极星报」 (The North Star) 的报纸。这个名字的典故其来有自,因为奴隶常在晚上脱逃,而逃亡中的奴隶总是跟随着夜空中的北极星得到自由;道格拉斯的目标是「废除各种形式及各方面的奴隶制度,促进有色人种的道德及知识改善并加速解放三百万身陷奴隶制度的同胞们。」道格拉斯还做了那些事来促进解放运动呢?


After Douglass escaped, he wanted to promote freedom for all slaves. He published a newspaper in Rochester, New York, called The North Star. It got its name because slaves escaping at night followed the North Star in the sky to freedom. Douglass's goals were to "abolish slavery in all its forms and aspects, promote the moral and intellectual improvement of the COLORED PEOPLE, and hasten the day of FREEDOM to the Three Millions of our enslaved fellow countrymen." How else did Douglass promote freedom?
