It is stated in a segment about Frederick Douglass that his master taught him to read. In actuality his master was going to teach him to read but his masters husband would not let her teach Douglass. Douglass learned read from the homeless children in his neighborhood and converting those children to teachers. It is true that she was a main part in the aid of Douglass learning to read but the children in his neighborhood deserve a bit of credit. The true knowledge is stated in his book A Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. This book was written by Frederick Douglass and I would like you to please correct this because this is an important piece of history and it should be historically correct.
