Frederick Douglass started publishing his first Abolitionist newspaper, "The North Star," from the basement of the Memorial AME Zion Church in Rochester, New York. The The North Star's motto was "Right is of no Sex - Truth is of no Color - God is the Father of us all, and we are all brethren." The AME Church and North Star vigorously opposed the mostly White, American Colonization Society, and to its proposal to send American Blacks back to Africa.
