Frederick Douglass, as you may know, was a famous African-American, who lived more-or-less contemporaneously with Abraham Lincoln. He was born in Maryland, and was a slave in Maryland, from which he escaped before making his way to the state of New York. He is probably best known for promoting abolition, by his skilled writing and oratory.
The Reginald F. Lewis Museum or Maryland African American History and Culture in Baltimore offers the following
free "family resource" on Douglass. The bulk of the resource is a biography of Douglass. There are numerous sidebars, too, with various factoids about him. There are activities for children, to aid in their learning about this great man. The booklet is full of the color and illustrations that are all-important in engaging children and keeping their interest.
The book states that the resource is suitable for grades 4-8.
