From clandestine meetings in Baltimore to building a life together in New Bedford, we explore how their <strong>shared courage, steadfast devotion, and unbreakable faith</strong> in each other fueled a seismic shift in the fight against slavery. Discover the personal sacrifices Anna made—often out of the spotlight—that enabled Frederick’s meteoric rise as a speaker, writer, and champion of human rights. If you’re ready for a tale of love, peril, and an unrelenting pursuit of freedom, join us for an episode that proves true partnerships can reshape history.</p><p><br></p><h2><strong>Bibliography</strong></h2><h3><strong>Primary Sources</strong></h3><ul><li><strong>Douglass, Frederick.</strong></li><li><em>Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave.</em> Boston: Anti-Slavery Office, 1845.</li><li><em>My Bondage and My Freedom.</em> New York: Miller, Orton &amp; Mulligan, 1855.</li><li><em>Life and Times of Frederick Douglass.</em> 1881; revised edition, Boston: De Wolfe &amp; Fiske, 1892.</li><li><strong>Douglass, Rosetta.</strong></li><li><em>My Mother As I Recall Her.</em> Privately published pamphlet, ca. 1900.
