RE: Who Said This?
I'm sure this is wrong, but how about Adam Gurowski?

RE: Who Said This?
Kudos, Anita. Indeed it was Frederick Douglass. Later that day he went to the White House, and he had difficulties entering until Abraham Lincoln came upon the scene.
I came across the quote in Every Drop of Blood: The Momentous Second Inauguration of Abraham Lincoln by Edward Achorn. |
