Frederick Douglass

Dedicated May 11, 2017, in proud recognition of the speech given at Hillsdale College by Frederick Douglass on January 11, 1863

"Neither law, learning, nor religion, is addressed to any man’s color or race. Science, education, the Word of God, and all the virtues known among men, are recommended to us, not as races, but as men. We are not recommended to love or hate any particular variety of the human family more than any other. Not as Ethiopians; not as Caucasians; not as Mongolians; not as Afro-Americans, or Anglo-Americans, are we addressed, but as men. God and nature speak to our manhood, and to our manhood alone. Here all ideas of duty and moral obligation are predicated."

—Blessing of Liberty and Education—September 3, 1894

With Gratitude to Mr. James Nagy in Memory of his beloved Wanda Nagy

Dr. & Mrs. Larry Arnn

Bruce Wolfe—Sculptor
