Found the full eulogizing of Grant by Frederick Douglass that I’ve seen excerpted. His praise is damning for the desecrators of Grant’s statue. Douglass fought villainy *and* honored heroism. He saw the latter as critical for emancipation. Where lives that sentiment today? https://t.co/nb48qYEsko

This is my first four digit tweet. I always thought my main value-add to the universe was that I actually look up quotes. Thanks for the confirmation, everyone. :)
