[[William Lloyd Garrison]], publisher of the [[abolition|abolitionist]] Liberator Newspaper, hired him. − − Douglass published a best-selling [[autobiography]], but then felt he had to flee to [[England]] to avoid being caught by slave catchers. Reformer Daniel O'Connell formed a friendship with him there. − − Upon his return to [[New York]], he founded the [[North Star]] newspaper. − − His motto was "[[Right]] is of no sex - [[Truth]] is of no color - [[God]] is the Father of us all, and we are all Brethren." − − Douglass wrote, "I loved all mankind, slaveholder not excepted, though I abhorred − slavery more than ever. I saw the world in a new light ... I gathered scattered pages of the [[Bible]] from the filthy street gutters, and washed and dried them, that ... I might get a word or two of [[wisdom]] from them." − − − {{DEFAULTSORT:Douglass, Frederick}} − − [[Category:Abolitionists]]
