DOUGLASS, FREDERICK
Autograph, Sentiment Album of Mary Curtis Fish 

Several months before Frederick Douglass published the first issue of the North Star on December 3, 1847, he wrote in Mary Fish’s autograph album the motto that would appear on the masthead: “Right is of no sex - truth is of no color - God is the father of all - and all men are Brethren.”
