Context is for the weak

Even I know the difference between Stephen Douglas and Frederick Douglass.

Somewhere a Fox news editor's history teacher is weeping.

And we have The Frederick Douglas House Historic Site here in DC. It has a lot of his stuff and explains about what he did. There was a recent foofooraw because historians finally found out what color the house was painted when he lived there, and painted it that, and the neighbors don't like it.

"Page Not Found I'm sorry that page could not be found, but you may want to try the NPS homepage here http://www.nps.gov."

Apparently the neighbors hated it so much that they even got the web page taken down! :-)

I clicked on the link and it worked for me. Maybe you should try again.
