Frederick Douglass - College Park, MD - Political Revolutions on Waymarking.com

The statue is about 10 feet tall and features a young Frederick Douglass waving with his clothes flapping in the wind. Taken from Wikipedia, "Frederick Douglass (born Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey; c.?February 1818 – February 20, 1895) was an American social reformer, abolitionist, orator, writer, and statesman. After escaping from slavery in Maryland, he became a national leader of the abolitionist movement in Massachusetts and New York, gaining note for his oratory and incisive antislavery writings. In his time, he was described by abolitionists as a living counter-example to slaveholders' arguments that slaves lacked the intellectual capacity to function as independent American citizens. Northerners at the time found it hard to believe that such a great orator had once been a slave."
