MLK

On this MLK day I am reminded of another great Black America Frederick Douglass. He befriended Abraham Lincoln and said in so many words that the black man left to his own would accomplish his dreams. He does not need help from the white man but only give us the right to vote and we can take care of ourselves. In answering the question as to what should be done to the freed slaves he responded: Our answer is, do nothing with them; mind your business, and let them mind theirs. Your doing with them is their greatest misfortune. They have been undone by your doings, and all they now ask, and really have need of at your hands, is just to let them alone. They suffer by every interference, and succeed best by being let alone
