Explanation :

Frederick Douglass learned to read and write from one of the slaveowners he lived with when he was about 12 years old. He escaped from slavery and started his own newspaper in New Bedford, Massachusetts called The North Star where there was a thriving black community. He married twice and his family would help him in his activist work and anti-slavery speeches and writings which were not always well received with the public. He had to evade capture in the 1840s by traveling to the UK where his supporters there helped to buy his legal freedom so he could return to the United States and continue his activism.  

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr was a minister who advanced civil rights but through the ideas of nonviolence and civil disobedience, ideas that showed that he was influenced by the Indian independence leader, Mahatma Gandhi.  King led many of the most visible and important protests of the Civil Rights Movement including the 1955 Montgomery bus boycott, nonviolent 1963 protests in Birmingham, Alabama, and the Selma to Montgomery marches in 1965. In 1963 he gave his famous "I Have a Dream" speech with the march on Washington DC.  In 1964 he won the Nobel Peace Prize for combating racial inequality through nonviolent resistance. He was considered a radical by the United States government, especially during President Hoover's administration, who placed him under investigation by the FBI. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee.
