  3. The Frederick Douglass Story


Frederick Douglass once said, “I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong.” Drawing from his 1845 autobiography, this production brings this historical figure to life. Rising from slave to statesman, Douglass was a commanding speaker who compelled audiences as he toured America and overseas. As a young man he had to educate himself in secret, but he would one day give advice to presidents. Douglass is one of the most respected leaders in our country’s history because he did not just speak about his ideals—he lived them.?
