    I'm crying because of truth and justice in America. What is truth and justice? It hasn't happened yet ❤

    That was so good. The documentary from HBO says he liked taking pictures because he was vain or something to that effect and it didn’t sit well with me. I had to find something that made more sense and here it is!

      I heard somewhere else it was because he knew the importance of the imagery and they were portraying slaves/black people in a negative light. He wanted to combat that.

    Thank you for sharing this video. Fredrick Douglass is one of my favorite historical figures.
    It's fascinating to learn about early photography, too.

    If they ever make a movie about Frederick Douglass, we need to sign a petition to get Laurence Fishbourne to play the role!

      Hence the slavery, we're gonna stick with "black". Bcz America was/is obsessed with color. Especially if it's the color brown, that's called black...

      ​@jengriffin152 he's my father I know now he was an educator but he was from Africa that's the truth not from the Americas.
