Every year on fourth of you lie we get Frederick Douglass quotes & I get v annoyed b/c his ass was only free b/c of a Black woman he almost never writes about. Which is wild b/c he wrote A LOT. Anna Murray-Douglass is his first wife who was born a free woman. She used her sewing gifts & funds to help him escape slavery which was risky AF. She then used her funds to get them started as a couple. She birthed 5 children & continued to run their household for 44 yrs. while Frederick traveled & grew popular in abolitionist circles. During this time he gained new friends (mostly white women) who critiqued Anna b/c they felt she was too uneducated to be his wife. He initially chose Anna b/c she reminded him of freedom & home. Sound familiar? Mkayyy. Balancing their money, the house as an Underground Railroad stop, raising their children, & dealing w/ his disrespectful ass friends eventually threw Anna into depression. She died from a stroke. Two years later, Frederick remarried a white woman, Helen (a direct descendant of the Mayflower) & she gets way more airtime b/c he defends their love publicly. So on this here day I’m here to clearly rant LOL & tell da damn truth. Anna Murray-Douglass was THAT DEAL! She was a bomb Black woman abolitionist who made it all possible. BUT AREN’T WE ALWAYS! Today her efforts will not be overshadowed by a Black man & a white woman.🌹 #AnnaMurrayDouglass
