...of his birth as well as the future lyrics to the anthem “America the Beautiful” later penned by Katharine Lee Bates and sung by Charles , Douglass declared that he could not delight in an Independence Day celebration that unblinkingly excluded a portion of the nation's population. Since African Americans were outsiders at any reunion celebrating freedom, it was a ritual that belonged to others. He could only mourn. Apparently Frederick Douglass and Ray Charles were separated by more than simply time and space. Or were they? It is sometimes forgotten...

...to reify the very body they are attempting to free. Douglass’s Narrative of the Life ( 1845 ) did clearly assert his own narrative voice in ways that would echo later working-class writers, from Mike Gold to Tillie Olsen to Malcolm X: the importance of literacy, the attempt to gain possession of one’s labor, and one’s self, even if by physical, violent confrontation. Yet even so, Douglass’s Narrative is in frequent dialogue with terms implicitly framed by the abolitionist movement: Douglass must present his spoken self as an upstanding, literate,...

...to the neoclassical and neoliberal position. Robert Bates’s ( 1981 ) work built on the neoliberal analysis of urban bias in developing countries’ government policy using the NPE framework. This bias supposedly resulted in an inequitable price structure for rural production. Bates explained the bias by the disproportionate influence of urban industrialists allied with the urban working class on government policy in developing countries. Given the neoliberal faith in comparative advantage, Bates regarded this as counterproductive for development. His work...

Two of the first black college athletes who rose to national prominence were Frederick Douglass (Fritz) Pollard and Paul Robeson . Pollard grew up in Chicago and, because of his spotty academic record, enrolled in and departed from several colleges before settling in at Brown University. A running back, he was the first African American to play in what was later known as...

...opportunities denied elsewhere, but their hospitals were also organized to provide up-to-date medical care for African American patients who also faced discrimination at other hospitals. Early African American hospitals included Provident Hospital in Chicago ( 1891 ) and Douglass Hospital in Philadelphia ( 1895 ). As the number and size of hospitals increased during the late nineteenth century, so too did the number of physicians with hospital affiliations. More patients meant hospitals needed more hospital staff, including doctors. Moreover, the patient...

...the big house, might at least help unlock the back door. As most slave narratives and other early writings make clear, the desire for literacy was both part and parcel of the demand for freedom and a sign of entitlement to that liberty and citizenship—to what Frederick Douglass called “manhood rights” but what Sojourner Truth, in “Ain't I a Woman” ( 1851 ) and elsewhere, argued were the rights of black women as well as black men. Just as early black women poets drew on the verse forms of the white European and Anglo-American traditions, so too did...

Flourishing in a host of poetic forms, from folk rhymes to descriptive show-pieces in narrative verse (as in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight or the prologues to Gavin Douglas’s translation of the Aeneid ), calendar description in painting expanded empiricism to encompass large expanses of fresh natural and everyday observation from the early fifteenth century onward. Its incomparably rich legacy captivates landscape masters as late as Breughel. In two...

...labor duties, they provided the work force on large elite farms, as in parts of eastern Europe from the end of the Middle Ages up until the nineteenth century. Many historians also believe that a similar kind of serfdom existed in much of western Europe in the Middle Ages, but Douglass C. North and Robert P. Thomas argue that serfdom in the medieval West was actually quite different. In their view, western serfdom was not the sort of involuntary servitude found in eastern Europe; rather, it was a voluntary contract brought on by the collapse of product...
