Narrative in the Life of #FrederickDouglas and scrapbooks kept by Douglas’ sons which collect the newspaper clippings of articles which covered their father on view at the @nyhistory.

Douglas’ autobiography should be required #reading for all middle schoolers in this country. It stands as a primary source account of what really happened, in direct contract and refutation of the bigots in Florida.

"Power concedes nothing without demand" #FrederickDouglas & iMMa mighty powerful force demanding #Justice @russellrope @ https://russellrope.com/realrr-tshirt/ ✊🏻⚖️👊🏻

@knitvspurl @CiaoBruno @marcelias 💯% I was only referring to #FreeDumbCaucus supposed populism. Was it Biggs that was gaslighting about #FrederickDouglas being a Republican, in his nomination speech? They think everyone is as stoopid as Floriduh voters to not see through their tokenism. You’d think they’d have learned from Georgia, but luckily they’re not much brighter than their base.

It is better to build strong children than to repair broken men

@Literally The autobiography of #FrederickDouglas is such a powerful read. My heart breaks when I read the passage about how he and his mother were separated when he was a child, and she would walk through the night to sleep next to him.
