Fredrick Douglas was the first "hustler". Except, he hustled kids to learn how to read... We have to damn near pay kids to read today... Such a shame.

Frederick Douglass would have won the fight for civiil rights singlehandedly if he had a voice like James Earl Jones.

If Douglass could only see the black community at large today. This man should be the role model for young black men, not 50 Cent and Snoop Dogg. What a tragedy.

Beautiful speech. Frederick Douglass is one of the greatest leaders in history. Not just a black man, not just an American, but as a leader of people.
