Well, I have two examples: Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth. Douglass had a long career as a lecturer for the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society. After Douglass bought his freedom, he gave speeches about the cruelty of slavery. Sojourner Truth also was born enslaved. Around the age of 30, the fled her owners and stayed with a Quaker family. After that, she gave speeches to "declare the truth to the people."

And of course, there's Harriet Tubman.
