This Fourth of July is Yours, not Mine: Frederick Douglass' The Meaning of July Fourth for the Negro

In the shadow of America’s most revered holiday, Independence Day (2022), Dr. Gipson will discuss the historical significance and contemporary relevance of Douglass' July 5, 1852 speech, commemorating the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Dr. Gipson will use Douglass' biting oratory as a lens to examine the ongoing structural underpinnings of systemic anti-black violence that continues to thwart freedom for Blacks in the United States.

This brother is obviously choosing to "know" that fallacy and that's perfect for him. It's important to teach the children and those that resonate with our GOLDEN LAGACY . I have come to realize that to know the truth is to live it, rather than convince or defend.

I met a young Nigerian man at a gas station today and as we pumped gas in to our cars I expressed to this young man my desire to go to Africa And also I no longer wanted to live in America.
he in return said to me” slavery never existed “ he said it never happened and proceeded to tell me about Dane Calloway UA-cam channel. a person I’ve been familiar with and a person I have come to realize wanted nothing to do with being a black American or African he appears to be obsessed with being a Native American. so I stopped watching Dane Calloway a long time ago.
My point for telling you this is because the African who is coming to America is telling US BLACK AMERICANS to “forget the past and that slavery never existed, there were no slave ships”. this is the poison that is going into the minds of these Africans who are working here in America. The young man also said that he wanted to return to Nigeria for a break for a soul cleansing I knew immediately he was going through something emotional and testing his sanity.
Does anyone have an opinion?
