2017-P 25 Cent 5-oz Silver America the Beautiful Frederick Douglass PCGS SP70

The Hero of the Abolition Movement, Forever Remembered in Stunning Silver!

From Slavery Through Education to a Legacy that Changed a Nation

19th century America had more than its fair share of heroes that came from humble beginnings. However, few traveled longer or worked harder, not only for what they believed in, but for their own freedom, than Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery in Maryland, he secretly learned to read as a house servant in Baltimore. As he was transferred from place to place, he sought out knowledge whenever and wherever he could find it. Finally escaping in his early twenties, he eluded slave hunters for years in New England by working under the name "Douglass." From there, all it took was one speech at an antislavery convention in 1841 to catapult him to prominence as a speaker, author, abolitionist, publisher, presidential consultant, statesman and diplomat. Because of his talent, intellect and passion, he established himself as an American hero, earning not only the freedom of millions but his own as well.
