Document Summary
Conditions of israelites under egyptians better than africans under whites. Americans punish africans for nothing else other than to enrich them and their country. Suffering will one day come to an end. Whites have always been avaricious and seeking position of authority. Fourth of july oration by frederick douglas p. 637. Questioning why he was called upon to speak. Questioning if the world in the declaration of independence are extended to african americans. He feels he is not included in the anniversary. High independence of whites only reveals immeasurable distance between africans. Justice liberty and freedom is shared for whites but not for africans. Feels mocked by being asked to speak. Looking at this popular day from a slave"s point of view. America is false to what it says. Slave is a man - how after doing all things that white man would do they still have to prove they are man equally.
