Words from Frederick Douglass on this 4th of July "Intelligence is penetrating the darkest corners of the globe. It makes its pathway over and under the sea, as well as on earth. Wind, steam, and lightning are its chartered agents. Oceans no longer divide, but link nations together. From Boston to London is now a holiday excursion. Space is comparatively annihilated- thoughts expressed on one side of the Atlantic are distinctly heard on the other." From the speech "The Meaning of July Fourth for the Negro" in 1852
