Ossie Davis does a wonderful job of capturing the feel of escaped slave and master orator, Frederick Douglass' legendary speech. Originally delivered in Rochester NY July 5th 1852, Frederick leads the audience with an emotional narrative beginning with his admiration for the brave American patriots of 1776 and ends up in a righteous fury condemning America, its politicians, and the hypocritical and insane institution of slavery. Fantastic.
