Sing it, sister! I have talked about this for decades and I have actually met intelligent women who did not realize that black men were given the right to vote 50 years before women of ANY color. Frederick Douglass didn't even care enough about black women to fight for their voting rights, while he was basking in his. Pathetic! And he had lived with Susan Anthony's family,etc etc....  This is why we can't sit around and heap praise on men of power, living or dead, who have thrown crumbs our way, but not fought for us. Enough! Thanks for the history lesson, West VA! I appreciate it. p.s. wasn't Douglass half white? Or part white? West Va.
