Paperblanks notes/planer: FREDERICK DOUGLASS, LETTER FOR CIVIL RIGHTS
Embellished Manuscripts Collection
Frederick Douglass was a former slave who became a leading abolitionist and social reformer. When too ill to continue his speaking engagements, he wrote letters of support for the anti-lynching activist Ida B. Wells to take his place. With this letter, we celebrate the legacies of these revered African American leaders.
