I believe of all people, Frederick Douglass would be very honored to see this historical moment today, as our first African American man becomes president of the United States of America. The reason I conclude Frederick Douglass would be so privileged is because he was one of the first African American men to run for president and was the first to be nominated as a Vice President candidate, in the U.S., running on the Equal Rights Party. Douglass was also very firm believer of in the equality of all people whether black, female or Native American or recent immigrant. He was fond of saying, "I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong."
