On this day in 1847, Frederick Douglass published the 1st edition of his abolitionist paper The North Star; its slogan was "Right is of no Sex—Truth is of no Color—God is the Father of us all, and all we are Brethren."

Frederick Douglass (1817 - 1895) was an American social reformer, abolitionist, orator, writer, and statesman. After escaping from slavery in Maryland, he became a national leader of the abolitionist movement in Massachusetts and New York, gaining fame and political clout for his oratory and incisive abolitionist writing.
