Degrees of Freedom

Abstract: A 5 page comparative essay discussing Frederick Douglass' Independence Day speech at Rochester and Susan B. Anthony's speech while under indictment for illegally voting in the presidential election of 1872. In the land of freedom, Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony stand as symbolic thorns in the side of the system. As a black man and a white woman, they were marginalized in society by virtue of birth. As articulate and highly vocal citizens, they challenged all who would hear to examine their own comfort zones and their own motivations. Both employed simple statement of fact plus biting sarcasm in making their points. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
