LOL. As there is 26 letters in the alphabet there is no middle !
HE meant if freedom is for America then why isnt a black man? A African American is in apart of America than why isnt he free like the rest?
he originally gave the speech to the Ladies' Anti-Slavery Society in Rochester, New York
here is a summary of the speech:
<span>While still a young slave in Maryland, Frederick Douglass taught
himself to read, whereupon he discovered that he was as capable of
thinking and reasoning as any free man, and therefore ought to be free.
Upon making good his escape to New York, Douglass earned wide renown as
an outspoken and eloquent critic of the institution of slavery. In this
speech before a sizeable audience of New York abolitionists, Douglass
reminds them that the Fourth of July, though a day of celebration for
white Americans, was still a day of mourning for slaves and former
slaves like himself, because they were reminded of the unfulfilled
promise of equal liberty for all in the Declaration of Independence. </span>
here is the full speech : sorry i have to leave it in the comments since it wont let me here
I think undergraduates. I´m going to second guess myself and say alumni. Wait, I talked it over with myself and I think I wrote the right answer first. Lol, hope this helps.
