Frederick Douglas is the most famous one, although there were probably others, whose are less well known. I would think that any escaped slave would be an abolitionist.
Abolitionist is a person who was against slavery and tried to get rid of it. Fredrick Douglass escaped slavery at the age 20 and became the most important African American leader of the 1800's. Sojourner Truth was another powerful speaker. He was an abolitionist and a women's rights speaker. Nat Turner was a slave and thought god called on him to end slavery. The Grimke Sisters (Angelina and Sarah) became well-known anti-slavery activists of the 1830's. They were members of a slave holding family in South Carolina. They did not share their parents support of slavery. They moved to Philidelphia and joined the abolitionist movement. Angelina tried to bring other white South women to the cause.
