Caption: Frederick Douglass's "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July" (1852) is justly his most famous speech. It was, though, not an isolated instance, but the pinnacle of a long Abolitionist tradition, in both Black and white communities, of pointing out the gap between the horros of slavery and the celebration of American freedom.
