Frederick Douglass Bicentenary

[ndrosen]

If you don't already read Reason online, check this out: Frederick Douglass was born in February of 1818 (the exact day is unknown), and Damon Root has a piece saying that the great man should be remembered for his classical liberal thought, as well as for his inspiring biography.

I largely agree, except that Root quotes Douglass saying that the soil should be owned. If I had a time machine, I'd like to go debate the formidably eloquent Douglass about that, and argue for a distinction between what labor creates, and land that no human labor can create.
