Frederick douglass presentation

This presentation, which was done by Thomas Corbett and myself, is an extremely brief look at the life of Frederick Douglass. It covers all the essentials in a compact power point. Frederick Douglass’s birth, death, and major moments in his life are all briefly discussed.

Through doing the research for this presentation, I came across a lot more information about Frederick Douglass than I did when learning about him in high school (no real surprise there). I was, however, surprised to learn that he held political office. I would have scoffed at the idea of a former slave holding anything close to office during the 19th century, so improbable it seemed to me.

I do not know why but I remember glossing over this information about Douglass holding political office. It was definitely something of note, and I should have pointed out which offices he held and why. That goes for the rest of the presentation. I think there should have been a bit more detail about his life.
