I finished reading The Color of Abolition. I wrote a short bit in the Epilogue section on the document. It was a slog getting though the book for me, except for the last couple of chapters. I enjoyed seeing Douglass in action dealing with obstacles.

So many young people stood next to me beaming, while their friends took pics of us together.
Just me with a smile and a wave and a colorful sign.
I felt a little awkward but the joy that tiny action caused was palpable.
I ended up taking that sign a lot of places.
