K. Atwood<\/a>, Esq., presided over the meeting.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/legislators\/m-m-mcleod\/\">M. M. McLeod<\/a> said the life of Douglass demonstrated the possibilities under our form of government. Douglass, like Lincoln and Grant and Garfield was a self-made man, but none of them had traveled the distance Douglass did to reach the pinnacle of fame; he had started from the very lowest depths, and had accomplished a great and glorious work. But this work was not finished; another Douglass must be found to take up the work where he had left off. When you go home get down on your knees and pray for such a leader, one who would bring about such changes as would not ostracise a man on account of his color and make them ride in different compartments.<\/p>\n<p>On motion of <a href=\"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/legislators\/james-hill\/\">James Hill<\/a> the chairman appointed a committee of nine to make provision for building a fitting monument to Douglass, and amended by M. M. McLeod to form a Douglass society in Jackson, the committee being: James Hill, M. M. McLeod, E. B. Topp, Prof. Wardlaw, Diamond Cox, S. A. Beadle, Ed Patton, Wash Newman, Frank Granberry.<\/p>\n"},"caption":{"rendered":"<p>Clarion Ledger, March 9, 1895<\/p>\n"},"alt_text":"Clarion Ledger, March 9, 1895","media_type":"image","mime_type":"image\/png","media_details":{"width":374,"height":764,"file":"2020\/10\/douglass.png","sizes":{"medium":{"file":"douglass-147x300.png","width":147,"height":300,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/douglass-147x300.png"},"thumbnail":{"file":"douglass-150x150.png","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/douglass-150x150.png"},"twentyseventeen-thumbnail-avatar":{"file":"douglass-100x100.png","width":100,"height":100,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/douglass-100x100.png"},"full":{"file":"douglass.png","width":374,"height":764,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/douglass.png"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0","keywords":[]}},"post":2475,"source_url":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/douglass.png","filename":"douglass.png","filesize":317360,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2598","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/attachment"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2598"}],"wp:attached-to":[{"embeddable":true,"post_type":"page","id":2475,"href":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2475"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
