Frederick Douglass ( born Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey, c. February 1818 – February 20, 1895 ) was an American social reformer, orator, writer and statesman.

Douglass was a firm believer in the equality of all people, whether black, female, Native American, or recent immigrant, famously quoted as saying, " I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong.
