Frederick Douglas was married twice. His first wife was an African American woman named Anna Murray. They were married while he was still being held in slavery. They had 5 children together, 4 of which lived to be adults. One of their daughters, Annie, died when she was 10.

When Anna Murray died, he married a white woman named Helen Pitts. They did not have any children. Mr. Douglas said that when he married his first wife, he was honoring his mother's African American race and honored his father's white race when he married his second wife.
