Frederick Douglass always amazes me.

I hate to think this, but with today's US Gov and this being a .gov site, I wonder when it will be purged.

I just went to the wayback machine to the save the page to be safe, but nice to see it was already saved!

Yeah, it talks about how the author was progressive for his era and pulled a quote about how Presidents have a tradition of serving only two terms. If this article isn’t pulled for being a gross example of DEI, I’ll eat my hat.

Good article though, well worth saving.

Countries may go through developmental trajectories similar to startups—progressively striving for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) ideals in the beginning, only to later regress to traditional ways.
