[ A Republican who became a Democrat to run as a candidate for the Louisiana state house. In 2013, he switched his party affiliation back to Republican on the day he received a Frederick Douglass award. ]
One has to wonder if he switched to Democrat to get elected becasue he knoew he would be Destroyed by the Dem machine....
Fredrick Douglas was an amazing American, he is a very interesting read and one part of american history that is hidden from us because he is so empowering, especially Americans with African Ancestry.
Interesting fact. I believe Frederick Douglas hid out at our very own Hillsdale College during the war. There was a bounty on him and the college was his refuge. An amazing institution.
