Eddie Glaude Jr. on Frederick Douglass’s Warning for Today | Six Questions

In this compelling preview clip, Princeton professor Eddie S. Glaude Jr. joins Steven Beschloss to discuss the enduring relevance of Frederick Douglass's 1852 address, "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?". Glaude argues that Douglass’s call for a moral confrontation with the nation's past is not just an act of remembrance, but a necessary step for national maturity. He warns that failing to remove the "serpent coiled up in the bosom of the nation" results in a dangerous cycle of political immaturity. This segment offers a blistering look at how the refusal to confront systemic racism continues to shape American democracy today.
