The phrase "Frederick Douglass sometimes called" creates a fragment. We need a colon to introduce the descriptive label, and "sometimes" correctly modifies the naming.
(29)
"Whose" is a possessive pronoun that incorrectly refers to Frederick Douglass here; we need a main clause subject. "He was a former slave" is the correct structure, and the semicolon properly connects two related independent clauses, with "whose" replaced by the correct framing.
(30)
The list includes "slavery" and "other injustices," so a comma before "and" is not needed for a two-item list in this context.
(31)
"Indeed" is an adverb that should follow the phrase it emphasizes. Placing it after "rights" and using a comma sets it off correctly as a parenthetical emphasis.
