  <about><![CDATA[Frederick Douglass (born Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey) was an American abolitionist, editor, orator, author, statesman and reformer. Called &quot;The Sage of Anacostia&quot; and &quot;The Lion of Anacostia&quot;, Douglass is one of the most prominent figures in African-American history and United States history. In 1872, Douglass was nominated as the vice presidential candidate on the Equal Rights Party ticket with Victoria Woodhull, the first woman to run for President of the United States.

He was a firm believer in the equality of all people, whether black, woman, Native American, or recent immigrant. He was fond of saying, &quot;I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong.&quot;]]></about>    <gender>male</gender>  <hometown>Talbot County, Maryland</hometown>  <born_at>02/14/1818</born_at>  <died_at>12/13/1901</died_at>
