Frederick Douglass believed that education and literacy were key components in empowering slaves to fight for their freedom. He saw education as a tool to raise awareness, challenge the status quo, and ultimately gain their freedom through knowledge and understanding of their rights. By learning to read, slaves could also better advocate for themselves and aspire to a better future.
