Happy Birthday, Frederick Douglass!

Like many enslaved people, Douglass never knew his exact birth date, so he chose February 14—Valentine’s Day—to celebrate his birthday.

After escaping slavery in 1838, Douglass rose to international prominence as an abolitionist, writer, and orator. In 1847, he moved to Rochester along the Erie Canal to publish his anti‑slavery newspaper “The North Star”. In his third autobiography, he wrote that Rochester was the place where he “shall always feel more at home…than anywhere else in this country.”

What would be his final speech at West Chester State School, now West Chester University, Douglass sooke for a law that would make lynching a federal crime. He called lynching “a menace to the peace and security of the people of the whole country” that “threatens to destroy all respect for law and order, not only in the South, but in all parts of our country.

The 1890 Pine Ridge Campaign resulted in the U.S. Army awarding 31 Medals of Honor, 19 specifically for service at Wounded Knee. Fifteen medals were awarded after the massacre, and four more awarded between 1892 and 1895.

In 2001, the National Congress of American Indians passed two resolutions condemning the military awards and called on the federal government to rescind them.

These are irresponsible posts, but profitable. Instead of looking for a solution, the focus is on assigning blame by any means necessary.

It’s Biden’s fault, Trump’s fault, or if we enlarge the parameters of the discussion we can blame the framers of the Constitution for creating the area called Washington DC.

We need to start teaching and using critical thinking skills - how to analyze information and situations.

Definitive answers at this point are unreliable and unnecessary. We need to gather information and evaluate, and then reevaluate when more information becomes available.

But hey - clickbait article that reinforces established prejudices sells.
