Publishing a letter from Frederick Douglass
who says that while he is unable to attend,
“the one thought to be deeply emphasized and
underscored on that occasion is this: The imme-
diate, complete, and universal enfranchisement
of the people of color of this whole country.” As
far as we were able to determine, this project
never quite came to fruition. The “monument”
was intended to be a “seat of learning” for
black and white together.
