Diocesan Canon Judith Conley will be preaching on Frederick Douglass - Born as a slave in February 1818, Frederick Douglass was separated from his mother at the age of eight.  A strong advocate of racial integration, Douglass disavowed black separatism and wanted to be counted as equal among his white peers. When he met Abraham Lincoln in the White House, he noted that the President treated him as a kindred spirit without one trace of condescension. Douglass died in 1895.
