Frederick Douglass And Independence Day

Frederick Douglass And Independence Day

Happy Independence Day, my Fellow Americans. Today, our little neighborhood will celebrate with a 5k, face painting, a bike parade, grilling, and late in the evening, fireworks, as Founding Father John Adams wished. Many of my neighbors were lucky to be born here and a few had to work very hard to get here. The immigrants Fourth of July really, really hard. They have earned it. Those of us who are grateful to be here would like one day to celebrate. Just one day. The Negative Nabobs can kvetch all they want on July 5, but for one day, shut the eff up. This year’s Nabob is Esau McCaulley writing in the New York Times about Frederick Douglass and False Patriotism on Fourth of July Eve. Cheese and crackers, give it a freaking rest.
