In 1845, Frederick Douglass, newly escaped from slavery, visited Dublin for four months, where he published his autobiography, gave lectures, and met figures like Daniel O’Connell. During this time, he was deeply moved by Ireland’s political unrest, poverty, and famine, which influenced his abolitionist work. This walk visits key Dublin sites connected to his stay and discusses his impact on both Irish and American struggles for freedom.
