Born Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey in February 1818, the abolitionist, editor and civil rights leader later known as Frederick Douglass was the son of a slave named Harriet Bailey.
He was separated from his mother, Harriet Bailey, when he was still an infant as she was working as a slave in a plantation that was twelve miles away from her six children.
