Today is #FrederickDouglass’ birthday. Rightfully, this episode of “Black is Eternal” is dedicated to him, his life’s work of liberation, education, & equality, and his legacy.

Today is one of the main reasons that #CarterGWoodson decided that February should be #BlackHistoryMonth! Everyday we’re highlighting literary pieces written by iconic Black writers.

#BlackIsEternal is proudly sponsored by @historygroomingco.

Today’s piece: “Frederick Douglass” (1947) by Robert Hayden. Performed by @Mpressivphenom.

We’re so glad you’re being blessed and sharing #BlackIsEternal. The feedback is humbling and overwhelming.
