"I love the pure, peaceable, and impartial Christianity of Christ: I therefore hate the corrupt, slaveholding, women-whipping, cradle-plundering, partial and hypocritical Christianity of this land. Indeed, I can see no reason, but the most deceitful one, for calling the religion of this land Christianity." β #FrederickDouglass #BlackHistory

WITNESS THIS MAN
I wanted to capture some snippets from hour 19 (he's going on hour 22 now)
Corey Booker on #Anger:
now he's speaking about the history of the #women's #suffrage movement, about one of the first people to #protest #congress, how she directly challenged president woodrow wilson and how she was then abused by the state
this is hour 19!
he's stammering a little, but his thoughts and rhetoric are fire
