Frederick Douglass
2011-07-02
Hello,
We recently produced a documentary film telling the story of
Frederick Douglass and the Irish:
Frederick Douglass and the White
Negro
(Writer/Director John J Doherty)
Frederick Douglass and the
White Negro is a documentary telling the story of ex-slave, abolitionist,
writer and politician Frederick Douglass and his escape to Ireland from
America in the 1840s. The film follows Douglass' life from slavery as a
young man through to his time in Ireland where he befriended Daniel
O'Connell, toured the country spreading the message of abolition and
was treated as a human being for the first time by white people. His
arrival in Ireland coincided with the Great Famine and he witnessed white
people in what he considered to be a worse state than his fellow African
Americans back in the US. The film follows Douglass back to America where
he buys his freedom with funds raised in Ireland and Britain. Fellow
passengers on his return journey include the Irish escaping the famine who
arrive in their millions and would go on to play a major role in the New
York Draft Riot of 1863 which Douglass could only despair over. The film
examines the turbulent relationship between African Americans and Irish
Americans during the American Civil War, what drew them together and what
drove them apart and how this would shape the America of the twentieth
century and beyond. The film includes contributions from Noel Ignatiev
based on his book How the Irish Became White and has been broadcast on
Irish national television prompting substantial press coverage often in
relation to the rise of Barack Obama.

What?! Jefferson and Adams died on the same day, which just happens to
be the anniversary of our country, by means of a document which not only
did they both sign, but Jefferson was the writer of and Adams got him to
write it! Wow, death is sad but that's just weird lol

"He served for two terms; 8 years, as president. The people wanted him
to run for a third term, but he said, "No", and went back to the
plantation.
He later returned and became Commander in Chief of the
Army"
According to my history, he was Commander in Chief while
he was President. Why would he return after serving two terms as Commander
in Chief to become Commander in Chief of the Army? Otherwise, it great
history for young folks.

World War II Experiences

LOVE it. I love WWII, the history, not all the suffering that they had to
go through, but I have to say, if there is going to be a WWIII, wait until
I'm long gone dead please!GO 101st airborne!!! they
were the ones who really helped us win the war on Nazi Germany. if it
weren't for them, we would be under rule (or dead) under the Axis
Powers. PRAISE THE LORD! GOD LOVES US ALL. AMEN.
just someone who loves history! |
