The great distance between slaves and citizens

In his speech "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?" Frederick Douglass presents his impressions on the celebration of the Fourth of July. He emphasizes the struggle for liberty of the Founding Fathers and the fact that the young age of America means there is much room for hope. However, he also states that the celebration is very different for slaves and whites. He argues that "your high independence only reveals the immeasurable distance between us." Douglass is reminded that the values of independence (justice, liberty, prosperity, independence) are not shared equally among all citizens.

journalism is the gathering, organizing, and distribution of news -- to include feature stories and commentary -- through the wide variety of print and non-print media outlets. it is not a recent phenomenon, by any means; the earliest reference to a journalistic product comes from rome circa 59 b.c., when news was recorded in a circular called the acta diurna. it enjoyed daily publication and was hung strategically throughout the city for all to read, or for those who were able to read.

yes, we appreciate these things!
