Based on the passage by Frederick Douglass and the use of the word "rush", we can say the following as the reason why Douglass uses it:

It connotes an extreme version of hurrying.

<h3>What is connotation?</h3>

Connotation is the meaning of a word inside a certain context. That is, since the context can be used to lend emotional weight to a word, its meaning can take on different nuances.

In the passage by Douglass we are analyzing here, the word "rush" is used to connote an extreme version of hurrying. The person did not move toward him just quickly. It was quickly and with certain violence, as if in a lot of hurry to snatch the newspaper from him.

seropon [69]

Answer:

He meant that painting murals of the rapper was their own way of honoring him and showing their respects.

Explanation:

In the article Street art of Nipsey Hussle in LA Breathes Life into Legacy the author mentioned the ways different people were grieving and making memorials for the dead rapper Nipsey Hussle, he mentioned that while the rapper's colleagues were using words to praise him, for others like Levi Ponce "paint was how they paid homage".

To pay homage means to express deep respect or to honor somebody or something.

So, the author just meant to say that painting was their (Ponce and others) way of honoring Nipsey Hussle, that is by painting murals and street art in his memory.
