In this episode, I read a short essay I did about Fredrick Douglass and his critique of "holidays" in the times of slavery. I attempt to draw a correlation between the use of these holidays then and now. Douglass saw them as release valves for acts of insurrection, and one could argue that this idea sustains still today.
