youtu.be/wq-6bmKbzP0 In this AAHIAH special, we spotlight the powerful words of Frederick Douglass. In his December 1866 essay "Reconstruction," published in The Atlantic Monthly, Douglass made a compelling case for voting rights and ensuring true freedom for African Americans in the South.

I am really outdone. The Maryland National Guard cannot celebrate Frederick Douglass, the state’s native son and perhaps the greatest American this nation ever produced, because he’s Black and his chosen birthday happened to fall during Black History Month. (Ask me why he had to choose is b-day)

#otd 1846, before he left Perth for Dundee, Douglass wrote a letter to his friend, William Lloyd Garrison, editor of the Liberator in Boston. He spent most of it responding to an article in a recent issue of the newspaper, which he had probably read in Glasgow. www.bulldozia.com/douglass-in-...
