History: Frederick Douglass Visit and Speech in Ireland: Intemperance and Slavery
Unlike in the United States, Frederick Douglass was treated with equality like everyone else in Ireland. No seperate restuarants or accomodations. No racial epithets.

He spent time in Cork during the Famine and made three public appearances which drew thousands. Douglass once said of his time in Ireland: "I have spent some of the happiest moments of my life since landing in this country."

"But seven years ago I was ranked among the beasts and creeping things; tonight I am here held as a man and a brother. I don’t know what to say. That I am a teetotaler is most true. I have been a staunch one for some years. I shall forget for a moment that I ever was a slave. If I can forget it, I think I could move as a man among you."Last edited by simplesimon; 11-20-2024 at 05:05 PM.
Dr. Martin Luther King Most Famous Quote:
If we can spend $35 billion dollars a year to fight an ill-considered war in Vietnam. Our nation can spend billions of dollars on Gods' Children to stand on their own two feet!
