Douglass

I think Dogulass spends all that time talking about slavery what not because no one else is. Everyone feels the same way about those issues its just no one has the courage to say whats on their mind and try to do something about it. I think by him talking about it in front of people on the Fourth of July it will help people be more aware of the issue. I also think it helps he gave the speech on that day than any other day because the day is about independence and freedom, yet everyone isn't free, and everyone doesn't have their independence. The speech hits closer to home because everyone is rejoicing and celebrating while he points out that some people can't rejoice about anything because they are viewed as property and not free people.
