@ashleytheebarroness: Frederick Douglass asked this country one question in 1852. This country has spent the last 174 years avoiding the answer. I think it’s time we stopped helping it change the subject. #4thofjuly #americanhistory #frederickdouglass #historytok #fyp

Coqui-Coqui🇵🇷 :

Thank you for remembering to mention UScolonies ("territories"). We often get left out. Rightly so Native Americans, Black Americans, women, Japanese Americans all this gets mentioned.. but it tends to stop there.. and then jumps to present day, ignoring that theUS had and STILL presently has several countries held as colonies, denying their independence colonies. Appreciate your work. Stay Safe, Stay Cool.

We read Frederick Douglass' book in my middle school in France, and it changed my perspective forever. Your content does the same today, and I'm sorry that you have to, but I want to thank you for the amazing work you're doing 🙏

SweetPickles💜 :

I have learned so much from you and what you are doing is so important. Do you have a book that has all the information you are sharing here on TT? If you do I would like to purchase it. I think it is extremely important to preserve all the history you share with us because I want to make sure my grandchildren know this history about America.

Shannon Avery & Journey Avery :

I've watched this video multiple times.

This country doesn’t feel free or offer freedoms to many citizens. We aren’t the greatest country on the planet, but we could be. We were on our way and instead lost our way. We must do better.

Shon Baker :

Sansan :

Girl, do tell, thank you for saying all of that.

Beauarist :
