Overview
This speech, often quoted and referred to, has a significance that goes beyond its content. Frederick Douglass was the Minister-Resident and Consul-General to the Republic of Haiti (from 1889 to 1891), a post fromwhich he resigned in protest of U.S. policies concerning Haiti. "Until Haiti spoke the slave ship, followed by hungry sharks, greedy to devour the dead and dying slaves flung overboard to feed them, plowed in peace the South Atlantic, painting the sea with the Negro's blood." Douglass traces the accomplishments of the Haitian people and the great importance of Haitian achievements not only for Black people in America but for the entire world.
