Douglass gets even more love

PRESIDENT TRUMP was right — Frederick Douglass IS getting recognized more and more.

The University of Rochester will honor the 19th century abolitionist leader on Sunday with an honorary degree.

The escaped slave’s greatgreat-great-grandson, Kenneth Morris Jr., is scheduled to accept the honorary doctor of law degree during the weekend graduation ceremony.

It will be the first posthumous honorary degree the upstate New York university has ever granted. The University of Rochester is home to the Frederick Douglass Institute for African and African American Studies, and has a collection of his manuscripts.

Douglass escaped to the North at age 20 with the help of his future wife. They settled in Rochester, where Douglass founded an abolitionist newspaper.

Last year, in the President’s address on Black History Month, Trump rattled off the names of several African-American leaders.

“Frederick Douglass — Douglass is an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job that’s being recognized more and more, I notice,” he said.
