1n 1838, when Frederick Douglass escaped slavery and went to New York City, he married Anna Murray. She was older than him, illiterate, ill much of the time, and didnâ??t share much of her husbandâ??s interests. After Annaâ??s death, in 1884, he married his secretary, Helen Pitts, a white woman who was nearly twenty years younger than he. Neither of their families approved of this biracial marriage.
