As an editor, he uses "The North Star" newspaper to amplify his message, and he becomes involved in the women's suffrage movement with Victoria Woodhull and Julia Griffiths. Throughout Reconstruction, he continues to champion civil rights and receives appointments as U.S. Marshal and minister to Haiti. Frederick Douglass leaves an enduring legacy as a transformative figure in the fight for freedom and equality.
