scholar? you mean abolitionist and social reformer? he was more known for what he did and what he stood for rather than what he wrote though he did write 3 prominent books.. still.. Definitely mostly known for being an abolitionist than anything scholarly... as for starters never had proper schooling nor went to college... his youth being spent as a slave in all (though he did learn to read from other children [white children however] and observation when still a child and slave. He was extremely bright despite no proper tutoring!
