Today is the beginning of Black History Month. In honor of this, we will read a quick African
American fact each morning during the month of February.
Today's notable person is Frederick Douglass. In 1818 Douglass was born a slave in Maryland
but as a young man he snuck onto a train headed to New York to obtain his freedom.
Throughout his life he became a public speaker and an author of several books explaining the
inequalities of slavery. His experiences helped fuel the abolitionist movement which fought to
promote equal rights for all races. A portrait of Frederick Douglass is featured today on
Google's search engine.
