Should we host a 14th amendment symposium on #DouglassDay and then transcribe NAACP and LDF papers with LOC and @douglassday.bsky.social? What do folks think?
On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

bake at 350F until cupcake-ish.
