We are reprinting this article which originally appeared after Barack Obama was elected president. The article remains very relevant today, with a fascist regime in power in the U.S., and with the prospect of Trump trying to pull in more Black youth into the oppressors’ army, police, and immigration enforcement in order to repress and kill off other oppressed people here and around the world for the American empire.

Hey Trump, you ignorant fascist...here's who Frederick Douglass was. Now, read what he said, fool.

To mark Black history month, Trump said, “Frederick Douglass is an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more, I notice.”

Do you think Trump noticed this amazing job of a speech by Frederick Douglass? This rings as true today as ever and should definitely be recognized more and more.

WWW.REVCOM.US/REVOLUTION NEWSPAPER brings alive a scientific analysis of major events in society and the world—why they are happening, how different events and developments relate to each other, how all this relates to the system we live under, where people's interests lie in relation to all this, how revolution is in fact the solution to all this and what the goals of that revolution are, how different viewpoints and programs relate, positively or negatively, to the revolution that is needed, and how people can move, and are moving, to build toward that revolution. Revcom.us/Revolution is the guide, the pivot, the crucial tool in drawing forward, orienting, training, and organizing thousands, and influencing millions—fighting the power, and transforming the people, for revolution—hastening and preparing for the time when we can go for the whole thing, with a real chance to win.
