Frederick Douglass Escapes Slavery by Subversive Historian Gabriel San Roman

Exactly one-hundred and seventy years ago on this day in people?s history,
Frederick Douglas made his escape from the bondage of slavery. On
September 3rd, the great African-American abolitionist, editor and orator
boarded a train to his freedom. Dressed in disguise as a sailor with a
borrowed Seaman?s Protection Certificate, Douglass nervously approached
the train conductor who held his fate in his hands. After a tense but
brief conversation, the conductor allowed Douglas to board the train and
at that moment his life as a slave ended. Frederick Douglass never forgot
where he came from and said in a speech, ?What, to the American slave, is
your 4th of July? I answer; a day that reveals to him, more than all other
days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the
constant victim.?

With such words of wisdom, thankfully Douglas made his great escape to the
north with fake papers.

For Uprising, this is your truth professa? saying it?s no mystery why they
conceal our history!
