Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

When alina was ten she said mom, you know what would be amazing? If you dug a hole all the way to China, popped out on someone’s lawn and yelled at them get off my lawn.!! I said you’d have to learn how to set that in Mandarin. She said well obviously.
