On September 3, 1838, Frederick Douglass escaped slavery and began the journey that would transform him into one of the most influential abolitionists of the nineteenth century. Born enslaved in Maryland around 1818, Douglass had already endured separation from his family, physical violence and years of forced labor. He had also secretly learned to read and write, an education that helped him understand the system controlling his life and strengthened his determination to escape it. After an earlier escape attempt failed, Douglass tried again at about 20 years old, knowing that capture could mean severe punishment or being sold farther South.
Disguised as a sailor and carrying identification papers borrowed from a free Black seaman, Douglass boarded a train from Baltimore and traveled north through a combination of rail and ferry routes. Less than 24 hours after leaving Baltimore, he reached New York City. Even there, however, freedom was uncertain. Slave catchers operated in Northern states, and under American law Douglass could still be captured and returned to slavery. Anna Murray, a free Black woman who had helped him prepare for his escape, soon joined him in New York. They married on September 15, 1838, and eventually settled in New Bedford, Massachusetts, where Frederick adopted the surname Douglass.
His escape was only the beginning. Douglass became a powerful speaker in the abolitionist movement, using his own experiences to expose the brutality of slavery before audiences that sometimes doubted a formerly enslaved Black man could speak with such intelligence and command. In 1845, he published Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, providing names, places and details that made his identity impossible to hide. Publication increased the danger of recapture, forcing him to spend time in Britain and Ireland until supporters purchased his legal freedom in 1846.
Douglass would spend the rest of his life fighting far beyond the abolition of slavery. He advocated for Black citizenship, voting rights, women's rights and equal treatment under the law, advised President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War, recruited Black soldiers for the Union Army and later held federal government positions. September 3, 1838 was therefore more than the day one man escaped bondage. It was the beginning of a public life that would force generations of Americans to confront the meaning of freedom in a country that had denied it to millions.

Erigga live IG OBO, Davido. i have always had the utmost respect for you. And to 30BG please y'all shouldn't take this s£rous. Just listen. I want to be honest with all of you. i made that tweet because Wizkid asked me to. It was a paid arr@ngement. He paid me $100k to post it , and I did. The reason I agreed is because I also have an album coming out. I believed the attention and discussion around it would help promote my project.
I never intended to c@use any real h@rm or disrespect david is my brother. To be honest, I’ve always enjoyed seeing my name trend worldwide. It brings me joy. But I don’t have the fan base to keep my name at the top , so I saw it as an opportunity. I am truly sorry. The music business is not what it used to be it's isn't paying like before, and I felt that the money would help me in a long way . 30BG, please understand don’t take this personally. I knew Davido would respond because we have been friends for a long time, and I know him well. The reason I’m addressing this publicly is because if I spoke to OBO privately, people might think we’re not on good terms. My album drops on September 7th, and I want us to have mutual love and support. I’m asking you all to support me.
🇮🇹🗣️ Pierluigi Collina: "I remember when I was asked to referee the 2002 World Cup final between Brazil and Germany. I had to ask for VHS tapes of both teams. I LOCKED myself in my room for a day and a half, taking notes and watching every minute of every match."
"Because the goal of a referee is to be one step ahead, to know what is going to happen before it happens."
"At the time, it was pretty unusual to prepare like that... but I'm proud of the fact that today this is normal prep for a referee."

Riyad Mahrez on the day the usually quiet N’Golo Kanté finally snapped at him at Leicester:
“N’Golo played on the right side of midfield and I was also on the right.
“I cheated a little because I didn’t defend.
“He was so shy that he never said anything, but one day he snapped and said to me:
‘Hey Riyad, please, start defending.’
“It shocked me. It was funny.
“And after that, I started defending.”
Today August 3rd in History of Nigeria:
August 3 1966: The Day Awolowo Walked Free and Lagos Stood Still:
Thread 1
I'm reading this to you because today in history, August 3rd 1966, Chief Obafemi Awolowo stepped into Lagos a free man.
Look at this Daily Times front page. Arms raised, agbada flowing, the headline screams AWOLOWO IS FREE.
He had just come out of Calabar Prison after serving almost four years of a 10 year sentence. The 1963 treasonable felony case was one many Nigerians at the time called political.
This is Bacalar, a hidden paradise located in southern Quintana Roo, Mexico. It looks exactly like the Maldives, but it's actually a massive fresh-water lagoon surrounded by lush jungle.
It's called the Lagoon of Seven Colors because the water shifts into seven different shades of turquoise and blue. One of the coolest things to do here is visit Los Rápidos, where you can hop in the crystal-clear water and let the natural lazy river float you down the channel.
You also have to rent a sailboat to check out the Cenote Azul and the Pirate’s Channel, where the water is so shallow it feels like a giant swimming pool. It’s way quieter and cheaper than Tulum or Cancún. Save this video for your Mexico travel bucket list!

2Pac’s final interview; recorded just 2 weeks before his death.🕊️
Looking back, every word hits differently. The legend’s voice, thoughts and presence… frozen in time.
So I just found out that there is a “Drum Wash” function on the washing machine that automatically cleans it up for you.
You let it run for about 1hr and it clears all the wheels etc.
