Which word best describes frederick douglass? a. lazy b. traditional c. funny d. courageous

The right answer is "D. courageous"

Douglass is considered the father of the civil rights movement and was considered brave because he was an objector against oppressive systems and preached constant rebellion.  

Son of a slave with a white man, Douglass lived the experience of the servitude and, being instructed, fled in 1838, adopting new name like free man and with which it happened to the history; ten years later he published his first autobiography that led him to tour Europe, which changed his thinking to more pragmatic actions of struggle. During the civil war he managed to make the blacks fight alongside the whites, and after this, he continued his struggles for equality between races and also between men and women.
