#Douglass's brilliance & sadly his resonance. "There are exceptions, & I thank God that there are." However, "the church of this country is not only indifferent to the wrongs of the slave, it actually
takes sides w/the oppressors. It has made itself the bulwark of American slavery, &
the shield of American slave-hunters. . . . this horrible
blasphemy is palmed off upon the world for Christianity." (What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?)
