Fredrick Douglass Fourth of July Speech

Fredrick Douglass's Fourth of July Speech talked about the day of Independence for America but primarily the whites. He said that still even after one hundred years that they are still not free nor have all the rights as the whites do. He said that they all live under one God and that they should all live freely. I believe that this was a very hard speech for Douglass to write because he is showing how although people are celebrating Independence he feels sad and embarrassed that our country has not learned how to be equal and Hope to make America a free home to all.
