In January of 1869, Frederick Douglass came to Gettysburg. He faced death threats, but he delivered his own "Gettysburg Address" nonetheless. We don't know exactly what he said, but historians are able to glean what he most likely said based on speeches he gave elsewhere during his speaking tour of that time.

LBG Kevin Bryant joins us once again to talk about Frederick Douglass at Gettysburg.
