Wow, I never knew.
Douglass was amazing.
That’s cool his son was a musician, I hope he sawed the shit out that thing.
Must have been a hard act to follow
Douglass looking like Fred G. Sanford with better hair.
I didn’t know he had children.
A true American original, legend, and hero.
Thank you for starting me on a Wikipedia rabbit hole. His kids did him proud, I’d say.
Thanks to that I found out that Douglass’s family and Booker T Washington’s families were eventually joined by marriage!
I always assumed he was a kind of lone wolf. 🐺
