The speech Frederick Douglass gave on July 4, 1852 - “What to the slave is the Fourth of July?” - is one of the greatest speeches in American history. It’s a profound reflection on the America of his time, and it gives insight into ours. pbs.org/wgbh/aia/part4/4h292…

Well that’s where you go wrong. You are bringing up something from 1852 which didn’t have anything to do with fighting for independence from England in 1776. You are race baiting and it is unbecoming of you.
