September 3, 1838, is a significant day in history as it marks the day Frederick Douglass, the renowned abolitionist, and writer, escaped from slavery. Douglass, born into slavery in Maryland, managed to flee to the North using the alias “Stanley” and disguised as a sailor. His escape was a turning point in his life, enabling him to become one of the most prominent voices in the fight for abolition and human rights. His memoirs, particularly “Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass,” have played an essential role in the anti-slavery movement and in educating the public about the harsh realities of slavery.
