I read that Frederick Douglas spoke at its dedication.

But, if you’re just intent on destruction, well, join the antifa-taliban.

"I read that Frederick Douglas spoke at its dedication."

He dedicated the monument. Freezer C19fan posted the link to the full speech yesterday. I've posted it below. I tried calling the office of Eleanor Holmes Norton yesterday, but her office was closed because of the virus, and she offered no voicemail option. It really ticked me off because just a day or so earlier, she was taped being interviewed on a D.C. by Andrea Mitchell. That's the same video that shows the guy in the pink see-through outfit charging them.

The speech is well worth reading:

Douglass Speech - April 14, 1876
