Frederick Douglass

Douglass learned alphabet

1829
Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.

When Douglass was about 12, Hugh Auld's wife Sophia began teaching him the alphabet. From the day he arrived, she saw to it that Douglass was properly fed and clothed, and that he slept in a bed with sheets and a blanket.
