Speeches by Frederick Douglass

."When a great truth once gets abroad in the world, no power on earth can imprison it, or prescribe its limits, or suppress it. It is bound to go on till it becomes the thought of the world." Frederick Douglass time and time again proved himself a philosopher and activist well advanced far and beyond his time. Ossie Davis reads Douglass’ speeches on the Dred Scott Decision, the essential struggle for progress, free speech and women’s rights.
