Directions:
Read the context information below:
Today you will be learning what Frederick Douglass said on the 5th of July in 1852. Born into slavery in Maryland, Frederick Douglass was taught to read and write even though it was illegal for anyone to teach a slave those skills. Douglass went on to write that “knowledge is the pathway from slavery to freedom.” After two unsuccessful attempts to escape bondage Douglass finally succeeded in September 1838. During the 1850s, Frederick Douglass typically spent about six months of the year traveling and giving abolitionist lectures as well as speaking and writing from his home. On July 5, 1852, Douglass delivered an address commemorating the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence to the Ladies of the Rochester Anti-Slavery Sewing Society.
