Frederick Douglass’ Famous Fourth of July Speech Still Resonates for African Americans Today

Frederick Douglass’ Famous Fourth of July Speech Still Resonates for African Americans Today: "But let's not kid ourselves. That stuff about all men being created equal was not meant to apply to people like us.
