=====================================================================
Introduction- Easton, MD
My entanglement with Frederick Augustus Bailey aka Frederick Douglass began when I moved to Easton in 2021. The town was packed with historical, political, and artistic current events that my apartment door opened into. At this time Michael Rosato was painting a Frederick Douglass mural on the rails to trails in downtown Easton and shortly after its completion The Talbot Boys Statue was removed from the front of the Easton courthouse.
For about one hundred years a monument called, The Talbot Boys Statue, had ordained the entrance to the Easton, MD, Talbot County Courthouse. A statue that portrayed a young boy holding a flag, and at the base, honored fallen Confederate soldiers. There is no information on the artist or the intent of the sculpture, but locals were able to develop solid opinions of like and dislike for the statue.
Some people wanted to keep the statue because they felt it represented the history of Easton and the history that had been established and represented for the past century at that location. Others were offended by the statue and the foundations of racism that both the confederacy and the Talbot Boys represented in their pro-slavery sentiments.
From a visual point of view, it seemed hard to condemn the young boy that was being represented. The young boy seemed to continue to embody the opinions of the surrounding adults rather than himself. What stood out to me even more so, was that a 200-year-old point of political, theological, and philosophical tension was still as relevant as ever today. A debate that Douglass tried to cure so long ago.
In 2011, Frederick Douglass’s statue was placed next to The Talbot Boys Statue in front of the Easton courthouse as a band aid solution to the conflict. The statues together could represent a fuller story. The owners of Douglass were undoubtedly Talbot boys and many of these families were still alive and well in Talbot County.
The debate continued to gain momentum. Huge movements continued on both sides of the issue, and surges of pressure from Baltimore would add to the argument, particularly the murder of Freddy Gray and the riots it ignited in 2015. Proof of an America that was still fighting for justice and freedom for all.
It was when the Talbot Boys Statue was officially removed in 2022 that I began to walk around Easton and really question what I was seeing here. Zelda, my dog, and I made our own Frederick Douglass trail. We would start on South Washington St. and we would first walk by the courthouse, now, where Douglass’s statue stood solo.
Then heading east, we would hit the rails to trails in order to cut over to the Rosato mural.
This piece of art invites you inside like a graphic novel. Each part of the picture is the key to a new story and your eyes are guided through space and time. The mural features familiar images like the cover to Douglass’ s, The Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass; it includes universal messages like, “The soul that is within me no man can degrade”; and this mural also invites you to get to know Douglass as a man, meet his wife and children, in order to humanize both Douglass and the viewer.
From the rails to trails, Zelda and I would follow the newly established route through The Hill neighborhood. The Hill is an early free African American neighborhood where some of the first African Methodist Episcopal or AME churches were established. In 1818, the same year Douglass is born, Baltimore native, Reverend Shaddrack Bassett, was sent to Easton to expand the AME mission and began his preaching in the streets of The Hill from the top of an oxcart. In 1820 the congregation would have enough money to buy property and soon construct the church in the same location as the church photographed here.
Coming through The Hill and back on South Washington St., we would pass one of the oldest still operating Quaker meeting homes. This religion is associated with many of the early abolitionists in the crowd Frederick Douglass ran with. Quaker influence would encourage young Douglass to support women’s rights, temperance movements, as well as participate in established anti-slavery efforts.
As I followed the breadcrumbs, I pledged to become a full-on Frederick Douglass, Dougarian. As a Dougarian I needed to fully understand Douglass’s journey from birth to freedom 1818-1847, the 19th century American landscape, and the power of artistic representation. In this graphic novel/travel journal I will express themes of humanism, respect, and understanding, inspired, and motivated by Douglass in order to communicate his journey from enslavement to free man. This work is fully inspired by The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass and is made to fill in the blanks that Douglass left for us to figure out.
Douglass on his escape, “I deem it proper to make known my intention not to state all the facts connected with the transaction” (Douglass 67).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 1- Douglass Conversation
Chapter 2- Tuckahoe, MD
The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass begins,
“I was born in Tuckahoe, near Hillsborough, and about twelve miles from Easton, in Talbot County, Maryland” (Douglass 1).
Frederick Douglass was born in 1818 at his grandmother’s house. His first experiences in life will be based on the cog position he holds within the machine that is the Lloyd plantation. The property here consists of his grandmother’s house, his master’s house, the master to his master’s house and dozens of out buildings.
The Lloyds were one of the richest families in all of Maryland. Edward Lloyd VI was the eldest son of the family and owner of about 9,000 acres which would be about 5% of the available land in Talbot County. Upon the death of Edward Lloyd VI’s father, as the eldest child, his inheritance will more than double his assets.
Douglass’s direct master was Captain Aaron Anthony, who was also, most likely, his father. Encapsulated life on the plantation is where Douglass will first witness the cruelties of not only slavery but the system in which it necessitates to thrive. At the age of eight Douglass will leave this plantation and be chosen to move to Baltimore.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 3- Baltimore, MD
Douglass on Baltimore, “These [slaves who had been to Baltimore from the Lloyd Plantation] were esteemed very highly by the other slaves and looked upon as the privileged ones of the plantation; for it was no small affair, in the eyes of the slaves, to be allowed to see Baltimore” (Douglass 6).
Baltimore will open many doors for Douglass and paint an array of possibilities for a thriving American life. In the 1800s Baltimore is the third largest city in America and presents diversity clearly to a young Douglass. Douglass will live in Baltimore first, from 1826-1832, and then again 1836-1838, right before his escape. Here are some of the things happening around Douglass’s house while under the supervision of Sophia and Hugh Auld.
Star-Spangled Banner……………………………………….
The Star-Spangled Banner was written not too far from Douglass’s house. During the wars of 1812, as the Inner Harbor and Fort McHenry were attacked, the city would stand strong, with soldiers and civilians, blacks and whites, fighting alike, and winning. In 1814, Francis Scott Key would write the Star Spangled Banner in response to this battle with the third verse stating: “And where is that and who so vauntingly swore,/ That the havoc of war and battle’s confusion/ A home and a Country should leave us no more?/ Their blood has wash’d out their foul footstep’s pollution./ No refuge could save the hireling and slave/ From the terror of flight of the gloom of the grave,/ And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave/ O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.” The lyrics seeming to defend the African American fighter and include them in our, “home of the brave.” African American soldiers would be an asset in every American war. This song will officially become the nation’s anthem in 1931.
Religion…………………………………………………………
Douglass will build a spiritual foundation here, attending church down the street from his house and becoming a preacher. Plantation life would pose religion as out of reach for heathens like Douglass using it as yet another tool to dehumanize the enslaved and treat them as chattel.
Poe………………………………………………………………
Writer, Edgar Allan Poe, will find much of his success while living in Baltimore having access to journals, newspapers, and other publications which would pay him to write in the growing literary industry. In his final hours, Poe will be found just blocks from Douglass’s home. Poe was said to have last been seen At the Horse You Came in On Saloon est. 1775 and still open for service today. Poe was found incoherent and in clothes that were not his own, perhaps having to do with the crooked politics within Baltimore’s voting system. Cooping is a term that can be applied here, used to describe electoral fraud where people like Poe were kidnapped off the streets and forcibly made to vote.
Love……………………………………………………………...
Douglass will experience love for the first time in several forms. First from his mistress Sophia Auld and her son. Sophia Auld had never owned a slave before and at the beginning of their relationship she would care for Douglass and teach him to read alongside her own son. Douglass gains love through self-care practices in the exploration of his education and the escapism he achieves by learning to read not only from his mistress but also immigrant boys around the docks in Fells Point. Douglass will also be in extreme proximity to his wife and love, Anna Murray. In 1830 Douglass is twelve and is said to have discovered his love for a book of speeches and essays called, The Columbian Orator, while at the same time, Anna Murray is moving to Baltimore at the age of 17 from Denton, MD. Murray will live as a house servant in Baltimore for the Montell family from 1830-1838.
Free Labor………………………………………………………
Free labor, integrated education, and equal opportunity were systems that were discussed in cities like Baltimore. Free Baltimore born black citizens like Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825-1911) aka the original Rosa Parks, would grow up in a free black communities that were thriving in Baltimore. Attending school until she was twelve, Harper would become one of the earliest African American females to be a published writer and activist.
Shot Tower………………………………………………………
The shot tower used to make bullets at this time is the tallest building in America. The scale here is exponentially bigger than the environment at the Lloyd plantation. Industry is here in Baltimore and city life is booming.
In Baltimore Douglass will instantly gain a certain level of freedom. He writes in The Narrative, “I had but a short time in Baltimore before I observed a marked difference, in the treatment of slaves, from which I had witnessed in the country. A city slave is almost a freeman, compared with a slave on the plantation” (Douglass 24). Unfortunately, he will soon be sent back to Tuckahoe in order to be evaluated as property due to a death of his owner.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 4- St. Michaels, MD
Returning to Talbot County, MD Douglass will for the first time be a stereotypical, field working, slave. Douglass will be forced back into a dehumanizing state of living, struggling every day, to break free from his bondage.
January 1833 Douglass is sent to Edward Covey’s farm in St. Michaels, MD to be seasoned and made into an obedient piece of property. Covey is a class-leader of the Methodist Church and known slave breaker around town. He will beat Douglass every day for little to no reason.
Douglass on religion and slaveholding, “I assert most unhesitatingly, that the religion of the south is a mere covering for the most horrid crimes,--a justifier of the most appalling barbarity…For of all slaveholders with whom I have ever met, religious slaveholders are the worst” (Douglass 52).
In August of 1833 Douglass has had enough and fights back when Covey comes at him. The fight between Douglass and Covey goes on for hours and in the end, Douglass wins. Covey will never lay hands on Douglass again. December 25, 1833 Douglass’s term with Covey will end for good.
Douglass knows he is not meant to be a slave. A foiled escape will land him in the Easton jail, the location of the present-day Easton courthouse, where Douglass’s statue now stands. Seemingly uncontrollable Douglass’ master will retrieve him from jail and Douglass will be sent back to Baltimore.
It is speculated that this is around the time that Douglass meets his wife, Anna Murray. I believe there is a chance the two may have known each other earlier. Murray did not seem like the kind of woman who would rush into anything, and she also seemed to be someone who made calculated actions. It is stated by her eldest daughter, “She could not be known all at once she had to be studied.” I believe Anna Murray is a deeper, more complicated person than we will ever know.
September 3, 1838, Anna Murray will provide Douglass with money and a sailor suit she made in order for him to make the first leg of their escape. Though it is said Murray was illiterate it is clear that the couple established strong communication skills. Upon Douglass’ arrival in New York City, he will immediately send for Murray, and they will be married there as Frederick and Anna Johnson. Murray will bring with her the necessities to build a home and a life with Douglass including beds, pillows, and clothing. Murray had been born free, but Douglass was still a fugitive so the two would continue north to find safety and work.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 5- New Bedford, MA
It is very likely that Anna and Frederick did not know that they would end up in New Bedford, MA. Married as Anna and Frederick Johnson, they move to New Bedford to live with Nathan and Polly Johnson. To avoid having the same name as their hosts, Frederick and Anna will take the name Douglass after a character from the epic poem Lady of the Lake, Douglas.
Struck by the rich living of New Bedford, Douglass will write, “I had somehow imbibed the opinion that, in the absence of slaves, there could be no wealth, and very little refinement. And upon coming to the north, I expected to meet with rough, hard-handed, and uncultivated population, living in the most Spartan-like simplicity, knowing nothing of the ease, luxury, pomp, and grandeur of southern slaveholders” (Douglass 75). New Bedford, MA is neither plantation nor dangerous city, and gives Douglass a growing spectrum of how Americans were choosing to live.
In 1839 Douglass will meet William Lloyd Garrison, an established abolitionist and Quaker. Garrison began building his non-violent anti-slavery movement in 1833. Coming from a strong faith, Garrison believed that if an individual could be converted, why could not also society be converted. In his mind any day slavery could instantly come to an end. Garrison would roll with a strong posse including people like: the Grimke sisters who would write American Slavery As It Is with Theodor Dwight Weld; Charles Remond an abolitionist orator who Douglass is said to have eclipsed; Lynn, MA resident Abbey Kelley, and Wendell Phillips who would cosign for Douglass’s The Narrative.
Douglass admits that in his life he has not always known the meaning of the word abolition but after meeting Garrison he will be fully versed. At the end of The Narrative August 1841 Douglass will first speak in front of white people at an anti-slavery convention in Nantucket. This will be the first of many speeches for Douglass and he will give up his caulking work to become a full-time traveling speaker for The Anti-Slavery Society with Garrison.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 6- Northeast America
Douglass will travel about 3,000 miles touring in 1841 in the north speaking as a fugitive slave.
Zelda and I traveled about 2,000 miles covering about 200 miles a day to replicate what his experience may have been like. 7/10 days we lived out of the car. 1/10 days we had full plumbing where we stayed. I’m sure my journey with Zelda had many similarities to Douglass’s travels but also many differences.
Here are some highlights from our trip:
Leaving Talbot County, we drove by Douglass’ place of birth.
In New Bedford, Massachusetts we stopped at Davoll’s General Store, a place that has been a running general store since 1792 and a place that Frederick Douglass very well might have been.
Newport, Rhode Island, Cliff Walk. About an hour drive from Douglass’s New Bedford home. Venture Smith, known for writing one of the first American slave narratives in 1798, will be kidnapped from Africa and first brought to Rhode Island as a slave.
I wonder how many spots Zelda and I stood exactly where Douglass had stood. Each place we went uncovered new information and new stories about Douglass and the early formation of American history. We were able to immerse ourselves in the scenery and make new discoveries through museums, national forest exhibits, books, murals, and all kinds of unexpected representations.
Lynn, Massachusetts, where Douglass wrote, The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, had such a rich culture and value for art.
Lynn, Massachusetts. The Lynn Museum and Historical Society (590 Washington St) was a big highlight of our trip. The culture of cordwainers is strong here. The push for diversity in fashion was revolutionary. Anna Murray would learn how to make shoes while living in Lynn.
Portland, Casco Bay, Maine. Slave stories about: Harriet Jacobs, William and Ellen Craft, Elijah Knox, Thomas H. Jones, Amelia Johnson Piper, Harriet Tubman, and Olaudah Equiano are all examples of escape made possible by migrating along a waterway. Parts of the underground railroad used maritime advantages.
At the Carey House Museum (6 Union St.) there is an exhibit on The Hutchinson’s where some of their instruments are displayed and it is a place that Douglass absolutely visited. Knowing that this type of music often accompanied Douglass’s speeches added to the oratory performance I already envisioned.
John Hutchinson at High Rock Tower in Lynn, MA.
Milford, New Hampshire. Around the corner from the Carey House Museum is a statue of Harriet E. Wilson, the first African American female novelist in America as well as revolutionary creator of beauty products for African American women. Ownership of beauty, fashion, and education is a way of defying class and status as well as ensuring access to self-care. Harriet is pictured here with her son that died at age of seven. Douglass’ youngest daughter, Annie, is often referenced due to her early death at ten years old.
We stopped through some of the earliest tourist spots in upstate New York on our way to Rochester thinking that these are areas Douglass too may have come through. Taughannock Falls, Ulysses, NY. The first hotels, luxury train rides, and tourist attractions would begin to establish in the mid to late 1800s after Douglass had been on the road during his first tour.
Rainbow Falls, Watkins Glen, New York. As romanticism flourished and many were fascinated by nature, Watkins Glen opened this nature spot as an international destination. Opening in 1863, by 1866 the park had 23,000 annual visitors.
Watkins Glen, New York houses about nineteen waterfalls. Upstate New York itself is home to over 200 waterfalls including Niagara Falls where Douglass was once photographed with, his then wife, Helen Pitts.
Rochester, New York. Making our way through New York, Zelda and I reached Rochester. Above is a photo of Susan B. Anthony’s luggage that she used to travel taken at the Susan B. Anthony House (17 Madison St.). Anthony was one of Douglass’s close friends and is the leader of the largest non-violent movement in history. The movement of equality created by Anthony supersedes both Ghandhi and Martin Luther King.
Mt. Hope Cemetery, Rochester, New York. The Douglass digs in Rochester are endless, there are a series of Douglass statues that lead you through town, there is a Rosato Mural at the airport, The Rochester Museum and Science Center (657 East Ave.) but my favorite destination was the cemetery. Douglass is buried here with his two wives, Anna Murray Douglass and Helen Pitts, his daughter Annie, Susan B. Anthony, and many other elite Americans.
One day Zelda and I ate dinner sitting directly on the line of a rainy day and a sunny day, reminding me that not only humans but sometimes even nature struggles with its double consciousness. Trying to define oneself can inevitably become complicated because each of us is made up of so many layers of personality and experience. Integrating public and private, woman power vs. manpower, street smart and book smart are struggles Douglass and I share. As we define ourselves as people it is important to find our own unique balance. Empathy, understanding, and humility are power tools within this formation that are invaluable.
What an adventure.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 7- Lynn, MA
After being on the road, Douglass comes to Lynn, MA to write The Narrative, his first autobiography. The speech that Douglass has been traveling around the country and delivering to the masses he will write down so that all can hear what he has to say. At 27 years old Douglass will complete his first autobiography. Its publication will be announced in Garrison’s paper, “The Liberator” on May 9, 1845, and Douglass will leave for Europe soon after that.
Living in Lynn approximately 1842-1846 Douglass will rarely be home. Anna Douglass will be extremely active in these years as head of the household. Anna will grow her skills in fashion by participating in the thriving shoe businesses of Lynn. Diversifying fashion made clothing more accessible for poor citizens while creating jobs and exciting creativity.
Anna was active in the abolitionist movement. She participated by harboring fugitive slaves like Ruth Cox Adams, who would be disguised as a family relative under the name Harriet Bailey. Murray will also travel, being spotted on occasion with Douglass, but also at the National Anti-Slavery Fair in Boston accepting an award on his behalf. Anna will be involved in both the Lynn Female Anti-Slavery Society and the Lynn Anti-Slavery Sewing Circle.
Anna did all this while tending to the house and caring for her four children. Later, after having her fifth child, Anna’s health will decline.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 8- Europe
In 1845 in light of the release of The Narrative, Douglass will travel to Europe in order to protect his freedom. After name dropping some very huge names, Douglass is not safe in America.
Fall of 1845 two letters are written to The AWL, Lynn, Massachusetts’s local newspaper. One is from Douglass and the other is written from “a member of the Hutchinson family” who I have interpreted here to be John Hutchinson.
The two will be on this boat ride for eleven days in some type of liminal, spiritual, mystical, space. Almost reminiscent of a rebirth, Noah’s Ark, or some type of magical, epic journey.
Douglass describes the passengers as follows:
…different countries, of the most opposite modes of thinking on all subjects. We had nearly all sorts of parties in morals, religion, and politics, as well as trades, callings, and professions. The doctor and the lawyer, the soldier and the sailor, were there. The scheming Connecticut wooden clockmaker, the large, surly, New York lion-tamer, the solemn Roman Catholic bishop, and the Orthodox Quaker were there. A minister of the Free Church of Scotland, and a minister of the Church of England—the established Christian and the wandering Jew, the Whig and the Democrat, the white and the black---were there. There was the dark-visaged Spaniard, and the light-visaged Englishman—the man from Montreal, and the man from Mexico. There were slaveholders from Cuba, and slaveholders from Georgia. We had anti-slavery singing and pro-slavery grumbling; and at the same time that Governor Hammond’s Letters were being read, my Narrative was being circulated. (“The AWL” No.12 October 4,1845)
Hutchinson describes the passengers similarly saying, “[And] such a heterogeneous mass of humanity I don’t believe ever met on a shipboard before. There were as many kinds of religion as men” (The AWL No. 11 1845).
As the crew travels through icebergs and choppy waters the sea is unwelcoming, uncomfortable, and cold.
Like Garrison always says, “My country is the world, and my countryman is mankind.”
On one of the last nights of the voyage, the captain will ask Douglass to speak. The crowd is wildly out of control. As Douglass approaches the stage the Hutchinson family will play music to make room for his voice. In front of this rambunctious, diverse, crowd, Douglass will not talk about himself but instead objectively and diplomatically read from the South Carolina Slave Code Laws. Reverberating legal American documentation to a global audience, Douglass will not be heard. The crowd will riot and carry on dramatically long after Douglass has left the stage.
While abroad, Douglass will be exposed to a world unaffected by systemic racism but, in places like Dublin, Ireland, he will see people who are poverty stricken and ill beyond restoration. Douglass will write to Garrison: “I see much here to remind me of my former condition, and I confess I should be ashamed to lift up my voice against American slavery, but that I know the cause of humanity is the world over” (February 26,1846).
After two years traveling Europe with his narrative Douglass will return to America humble, as a certified free man, ready to end slavery, reunite with his family, and free his brothers in bondage.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 9- Rochester, NY the Conclusion
On December 5, 1846, Douglass will buy his freedom for $711.66 allowing him to return to America. Douglass knows the only way that he can mend the American system is from within it. Douglass and his family will move to Rochester, NY and here Douglass will start his very own newspaper called “The North Star.”
At 28 years old and officially a legal citizen of the United States of America, Douglass will have his work cut out for him. He will soon be propelled into the largest American territorial expansion that occurs as a result of the Mexican American War, followed by the implementation the fugitive slave act of 1850, and then comes the Civil War. Douglass will live to be 77 years old and pass away in 1895.
Douglass’ legacy continues to thrive into 2023 and beyond. A narrative of love and loss, triumph and failure, as well as reconstruction and deconstruction propel our hero’s story. The human story that can be found here is an inspiration to all Americans and it is an underdog story that provides the foundational spark meant to ignite the next greatest. It could be anyone, is it you?
“Not all who read learn.
Not all who learn understand.
Not all who understand care.”
