Actor Norman Matlock recreating a speech by abolitionist Frederick 

Douglass.  Douglass was born into slavery around 1817, and was educated 

illegally by a sympathetic owner.  He escaped and went to England to escape 

a bounty on his head and to rouse the international opinion against the 

institution of slavery. This speech, entitled "An Appeal to the British

People" was given on May 12, 1846, in London.  After the Civil War, Douglass 

lived in Washington, D.C., where he received a public appointment and worked 

as a journalist.
