The famous social reformer Frederick Douglass was born in 1818 in Tuckahoe, Maryland. He was
mostly raised by his grandmother. Douglass was born a slave and remained so until 1838, when he
escaped slavery by borrowing the papers of a freed slave and moved to New York. Just a few years
before, in 1836, he was hired out and worked in a shipyard in Baltimore. He joined the East Baltimore
Improvement Society there in 1837.
