Two Perspectives About America



Washington Post op-ed columnist Colbert I. King offers a comparative look at Frederick Douglass's famous 1852 4th of July speech before the Rochester Ladies' Anti-Slavery Society and Barack Obama's recent speech "The America We Love." King writes, "The two men's remarks, touching on loyalty, race and the country's moral foundation, underscore the difference 150 years has made in the life of the nation."
