Explanation:

Frederick Douglass, an abolitionist who was formerly enslaved, viewed education as a tool to break the chains of slavery. The word "emancipation" directly refers to freedom from oppression. His own learning experience showed him that education gave him the understanding and ability to fight for his freedom, so the phrase links education to achieving freedom.
