Frederick Douglass was an abolitionist, orator, author, and statesman. He was a millionaire who born into slavery during 1818 in Eastern Shore Maryland. He escaped slavery with the help of his first wife Anna Murray Douglass in 1838. He was a self-educated man who taught himself to not only read and write but to become an excellent speaker. He was an advisor to President Lincoln during the Civil War for the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation.

Frederick Douglass and his son Charles Remond Douglass developed an all Black Vacation Community in Highland Beach Maryland. Frederick Douglass made his money from speaking engagements.
