POWERFUL!
I had never heard the speech in its entirety and I feel having his young descendants read it was a brilliant choice.
I also appreciated hearing their personal thoughts at the end of the video.

Powerful is right! I love so much that Douglass' direct descendants re-enacted his famous speech.

I wasn't around on the 4th, but I'm glad to have found this. Thanks, Flanz!

You're welcome! I was very happy to have stumbled across it. And the "kids'" personal statements were powerful as well.
