Destination Freedom (005) 1948-07-25 The Making of a Man

"The Making of a Man" is the fifth episode of the Destination Freedom radio series, which originally aired on July 25, 1948. This episode, written by Richard Durham, tells the compelling story of Frederick Douglass, one of the most influential African American leaders of the 19th century.


Frederick Douglass was born into slavery but escaped to freedom and became a leading voice in the abolitionist movement. He was renowned for his powerful oratory and incisive writings, which highlighted the brutal realities of slavery and advocated for the rights of African Americans. Douglass's journey from enslavement to becoming a respected statesman and advisor to presidents is a testament to his resilience, intellect, and unwavering commitment to justice.


In "The Making of a Man," listeners are taken through key moments in Douglass's life, from his early years in bondage to his escape and subsequent rise as a prominent abolitionist. The episode captures his struggles, triumphs, and the profound impact he had on the fight for equality and human rights.
