rotd: frederick douglass, prophet of freedom

Revolutionary thought of the day:
Douglass's great gift, and the reason we know him of today, is that he found ways to convert the scars Covey left on his body into words that might change the world.

David W. Blight, Frederick Douglass, Prophet of Freedom
This is what every abuse survivor, every war resister, every Truth and Reconciliation testifier, is doing: finding ways to convert their scars into change.

It's been a long time since our last ROTD! This book is clearly going to change that.
