The Importance of Marriage in the History of Slavery

The idea that black people are animals seems to be refuted by the very observations we have on nature, right. So in 1854 one of the very first treatises that Frederick Douglass delivers in front of white audiences is called it isn't his ecological address on the status of man. It's a beautiful short piece, but it's situations Negroes as a human being. The people born after slavery are really interesting because they have different articulations of what they see freedom as. They're often more radical. I think here at early 20th century blacks were very concrete about their desire for self-determined freedom.
