This work features a speech delivered by Douglass, a prominent African American abolitionist and former runaway slave, at the Anniversary of the American Anti-Slavery Society on May 11, 1847. The topic revolves around the struggles against slavery in the United States and the call for abolition, illustrating Douglass's passionate advocacy for the rights of enslaved individuals and the moral imperative to end the institution of slavery. In his speech, Douglass reflects on his experiences as a runaway slave and his observations of the societal dynamics surrounding slavery in America. He expresses his disillusionment with American institutions that perpetuate slavery and emphasizes his lack of patriotism for a country that dehumanizes him and millions of others. Douglass calls for English support in the fight against slavery, arguing that American citizens lack the moral power to abolish it. He recounts his travels abroad, contrasting the acceptance he found in England with the prejudices he faces at home. The speech concludes with a rallying cry for justice and a commitment to non-violent resistance, ultimately demonstrating the urgency of the abolitionist movement and the shared humanity that transcends national boundaries.
