I Am Frederick Douglass is the second segment of the 19th episode in Season 1 of Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum.
Synopsis[]
Xavier becomes frustrated by his schoolwork, which involves learning a whole bunch of words that he thinks are way too big. When he contemplates just giving up, Yadina and Brad know what they have to do... To the Secret Museum! Our heroes are sent back in time to meet someone who cared deeply about education: Frederick Douglass. When we find Frederick, he isn't allowed to go to school, but he doesn't let that stop him from learning all he can in any way he can until he ends up at the White House where the President wants to hear his incredibly smart ideas. Xavier is inspired to stick with his own schoolwork, because he wants to do amazing things one day, just like Frederick Douglass, and learning can take you anywhere.
