| Frederick Douglass was and is a hero of rnine. He rose to
great stature, taken there by the tides of his times and kept
there by the sheer force of his will and charisma; his staying
power proving that early successes were portentous of his future
greatness; his inner dignity his greatest ally and truest guide.
Over the years many portraits and photographs of him have surfaced,
and many more shall come I am sure. He is usually portrayed
as very serious and stern, even fierce. I would like to think
that in private he could also share humor with the best. For
that reason I present him here with a twinkle his eye, and in
color ? a rare combination! |
