What I’m Reading: Life and Times of Frederick Douglass – 94 in a series – “… Mr. Lincoln was not only a great President, but a Great Man…”

Books / History / Quotes / Reading

“I have often said elsewhere what I wish to repeat here, that Mr. Lincoln was not only a great President, but a Great Man—too great to be small in anything. In his company I was never in any way reminded of my humble origin, or of my unpopular color.”

From Life and Times of Frederick Douglass: (An African American Heritage Book)

Why I'm Reading: He was whipped oftener who was whipped easiest.
