Born into slavery, Frederick Douglass taught himself to read against the law and at great personal risk. He traded bread with poor white children for reading lessons. He studied discarded newspapers and copied letters from lumber. Education became his path to freedom—first mental, then physical.
After escaping slavery, Douglass became a publisher, running his own newspaper, "The North Star." He understood that knowledge is power, and sharing knowledge builds power in others. He invested in learning and in teaching because both create freedom.
