On April 14, 1876, Frederick Douglass delivered a speech at the unveiling of the Emancipation Memorial in Washington, D.C. He candidly critiqued Abraham Lincoln as a president primarily for white men, yet acknowledged Lincoln's deep-seated hatred of slavery. Douglass, born into slavery, became a leading abolitionist and met Lincoln to advocate for equal treatment of black soldiers.

Douglass continued to fight for African-American rights throughout his life.
