To celebrate Black History Month, InFlexWeTrust will be honoring influential members of Black history daily throughout the month. Today, we are honoring Frederick Douglass. Before many Black history leaders and figures were even born, Frederick was leading the anti-slavery moment. Douglass escaped from slavery on September 3, 1838 by bordering a train and traveling to New York City with the help of his wife, Anna Murray who was a free Black woman. After settling in New Bedford, Massachusetts Douglass began to speak about his life as a slave before writing his biographies. Read more about his contributions below.
