Stephen Douglass, was an eloquent speaker who escaped slavery. Although teaching slaves to read was illegal, Douglass managed, through creative means, to learn to read. He escaped slavery and managed to get to London, where his speeches were greatly admired. Well wishers in London gave him money to legally purchase his freedom.
