I answer: a day that reveals to him, more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. To him, your celebration is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; your denunciations of tyrants, brass fronted impudence; your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade, and solemnity, are, to him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy — a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages.”      

In this quote I talk about the 4th of July is like for a slave or once in slaved person. Near the end of my speech I say "your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery; your prayers and hymns, your sermons and thanksgivings, with all your religious parade, and solemnity, are, to him, mere bombast, fraud, deception, impiety, and hypocrisy — a thin veil to cover up crimes which would disgrace a nation of savages.”

It is bound to go on till it becomes the thought of the world." 

When I say it is bound to go on till it becomes the thought of the world. I mean it will keep going till everyone thinks the same way of till everyone agrees. ]]> 2018-05-09 15:51:42 UTC https://padlet.com/993859/t0nget1qidkj/wish/259338667 Frederick Douglass; (Abolitionist) 993859 https://padlet.com/993859/t0nget1qidkj/wish/259344541 I was born around 1818 in Talbot Country, Maryland. I was born nine years after Abraham Lincoln, I was born in a small log slave cabin. My mother was a slave on the Holme Hill Farm. When I was an infant I was separated from my mother. I lived with my grandmother till I was about six years old then I had to move away and work at the Wye house plantation in Maryland. From that plantation I was "given" to Lucretia Auld, her husbands name was Thomas. Thomas sent me to work with his brother Hugh in Baltimore. There Hugh's wife Sophia taught him the alphabet. From her teaching I taught myself to read and write. When I was hired out to work under William Freeland, he was teaching other slaves to read using the bible. Thomas Auld heard of my efforts to educate my fellow slaves, Mr Auld sent me to Edward Covey, a farmer who was known for his brutal treatment of slaves. I was around 16 at this time I was regularly whipped by Mr. Covey. After I failed many times to escape I was finally able to leave mr covey's farm in around 1838. I first boarded a train to Havre de Grace Maryland. from there I traveled to Delaware. before I arrived in New York I arrived at the at abolitionist David Ruggles. Once I was setteled in New York He sent for Anna Murray she was from Boltimore. they met while in capivity. They joined and were married in September 1838. ]]> 2018-05-09 16:03:02 UTC https://padlet.com/993859/t0nget1qidkj/wish/259344541 Bibliography 993859 https://padlet.com/993859/t0nget1qidkj/wish/259979701  “Frederick Douglass.” History.com, A&E Television Networks, 2009
