So, I finished the CIE reading for class on Monday. The one by Frederick Douglass reminded me of the lecture we had last Tuesday. They mentioned something about the dedication of a statue of Lincoln at the Freedman's Bureau where Douglass said that Lincoln was primarily "the white man's president," which is strikingly similar to the suggestion in the passage that the Fourth of July is a white man's holiday.

The next section, the "Declaration of Sentiments," I had seen before. I always though it was a bit silly for them to copy and reword parts of the Declaration of Independence, yet I definitely understand where they were going and the point they were making with that strategy.

Well, that's all for now. If I get more time later today, I'll write more!
