Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association, Inc. wishes to reach 13,000,000 Negroes to permit them to give $100,000 for the perpetual upkeep of the Douglass Home in Washington, D.C. [[Image]] FREDERICK DOUGLASS ABOLITIONIST 1817-1895 The Sage of Anacostia Douglass braved all obstacles to help make America free indeed. Excerpts from Addresses by Douglass "I have seen dark hours in my life and I have seen the darkness gradually disappearing, and the light gradually increasing. One by one I have seen obstacles removed, errors corrected, prejudices softened, proscriptions relinquished, and my people advancing in all the elements that make up the sum of general welfare. I remember that God reigns in eternity and that whatever delays, disappointments, and discouragements may come, truth, justice, liberty, and humanity shall prevail."
