"Agitate, Agitate, Agitate"
~ Frederick Douglass
~ Frederick Douglass
In the summer of 1845, Frederick Douglass at age 27 arrived in Dublin to start a 2 year lecture tour of Britain and Ireland to champion freedom from slavery. During this transformational time Douglass writes, "One of the most pleasing features of my visit has been a total absence of prejudice against me on account of my colour. I find myself not treated as a colour, but as a man - not as a thing, but as a child of the common Father of us all." Douglass would go on to meet Daniel O'Connell, a political leader who fought for the emancipation of Catholics.
