He served as adviser to six U.S. presidents including Abraham Lincoln, who referred to him as “my friend Douglass.” He also took up the mantle of Women’s Suffrage in support of the work of Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and others. Join Active Minds as we explore the remarkable life of Frederick Douglass.
