What did the nation look like in the years following the end of the Civil War and the emancipation of African Americans? In a special conversation to celebrate Juneteenth, historians David W. Blight and Eddie S. Glaude, Jr. (moderator) delve into the life of one of the most important figures of the 19th century, writer, orator, and abolitionist Frederick Douglass, and how his legacy continues to resonate today.
David Blight is Class of 1954 Professor of American History and Director of the Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance, and Abolition at Yale University and a trustee of the New-York Historical Society. He is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom.
Eddie S. Glaude, Jr. (moderator) is chair of the Department of African American Studies and James S. McDonnell Distinguished Professor of Religion and African American Studies at Princeton University, and a distinguished author of books such as Begin Again: James Baldwin's America and Its Urgent Lessons for Our Own.
I am listening to these two Scholars Professors Glaude and Blight on Juneteeth 2024....their conversation is still relevant today. Their words are almost a prophetic for today and what is going on in the United States with Race! A very profound conversation!! Thank You Gentlemen for this conversation on Frederick Douglass!!
Thank you for this enlightening discussion on the writings of Frederick Douglas..in response to the segregated response to the Civil war. There is truly a awakening in the need for racial healing that stems from the Civil war. HEALING and JUSTiCE for all
Thank you NYHS and Professors Glaude and Blight. Fantastic discussion.
Very educational and listening too these two great scholars is amazing and fulfilling.
THANK YOU
Thank you.
Stumbled across this. A FASCINATING discussion
Wonderful discussion!
Yes
Excellent black man
Professor Blight is an extraordinary scholar and professor. Look for his book "Race and Reunion." This (2001) book advanced understanding of how the Southern side story (the Lost Cause myth) became codified for so many people particularly in the South and West.
Its really interesting about him i read a book about him at my school.
Juneteenth fact by Fred X,
There’s two parts of slavery , physical and mental, and the passage of law making Juneteenth a federal holiday represented the physical part of slavery. But the mental part of slavery didn’t end until 2019 when black people knew enough information as a whole to declare being woke- so go back and reconsider Juneteenth Blackfolk and representatives of them.
Thanks for helping explain why Trumpism has brought forth much needed social change.
Shouldn’t you be out burning down buildings and looting?
@@sickofpcbs7622 shouldn’t you be storming the capital
Shame on me! I started listening to his speeches, and promised to read him but didn't...
😅🤣😂😅🤣🤣 !!
Juneteenth! Tell me what other culture coulda come up with THAT word? In another 2 yrs they'll have a million babies with that as their first name.
Bwwaaahhhhahahahaha!!
Tribes enslaved one another all colors, same colors. SO GIVE ME A BREAK..
For Juneteenth (6/19) BRAND NEW soundcloud.com/hillipsand/when-the-freedom-come
This holiday is a total joke! What’s next, national idiot day!!
The 4th of July and memorial day is a joke.
@@denaalabama-girl8242 then leave.
No, really. If you think Memorial Day... a mere day set aside to honor all the soldiers that died to protect the freedoms you're too stupid to appreciate... if you think THAT is "a joke", run don't walk to the next leaky boat leaving whatever harbor is closest to your useless azz!
So long. Good riddance!
More symbolism. I'm going back to 😴
Here's a fun fact .. Africa took over 1 million Europeans slaves in the 1600s
* This post is too expand thinking, if you are one of the people who thinks slavery is or ever was about race or color, it's time to expand your mind.
And that has what to do with the video
@@mcfact1827 it's called double standards. Look it up.
@@notit340 its called not having anything to do with America. And or you using a red herring tactic.
@@mcfact1827 oh your too ignorant to understand, nevermind.
@@notit340 I know ALL about the Moors and what they did. And they have nothing to do with what happened in America. Stop using red herring tactics. And if u don't know what that means, look it up.
Frederick Douglass was a great man, but June 19th isn't nearly as important as *December 6, 1865* . That was when slavery in the U.S. was *officially* abolished, and the 13th Amendment was ratified and added to the U.S. Constitution.
So... what? A Decemberteenth too now?
😅🤣😂😅🤣🤣 !!
