Frederick Douglass knew the importance of the Declaration, which is why he used it to pen a searing indictment of slavery. Read his imperishable statement. https://t.co/rZoJk5kEVz

I am researching and writing about FL's first Blk U.S. Congressman Josiah T. Walls for #CCPClass and Walls was dope! Winning an election against a former enslaver and Confederate veteran in 1870 and later become Gainesville's mayor?!? He was a key colored convention activist too!
