Frederick Douglass, who escaped slavery in Maryland to become the most influential black American of the 19th century, lived the last two decades of his life in Washington, D.C., became active in local politics, continued to crusade for civil rights, and married a white woman. Journalist and author John Muller tackles this part of the legendary orator’s life in "Frederick Douglass In Washington, D.C. the Lion of Anacostia."
