Rabbi Michael Holzman, Rev. Dr. Vernon Walton, and Rev. Dr. Latricia Scriven discuss the famous speech delivered by Frederick Douglass in Rochester in 1852 . They explore what drives Douglass's pain, where his hope comes from, and why his indictment of America is ultimately an act of love. This conversation is candid, theological, and at times personal.
