JULIA WARD HOWE "How the Battle Hymn of the Republic (was Written” SINGING OF THE “ HYMN” MRS. NELLIE BROWN MITCHELL Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord: He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; He has loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword: His truth is marching on. I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps; They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps; I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps; His day is marching on. I have read a firey gospel, writ in burnished rows of steel: As you deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal; Let the hero born of woman, crush the serpant with his heel; Since God is marching on. He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat; He is sifting out the hearts of men before his judgment seat: Oh, be swift my soul to answer him, be jubilant my feet: Our God is marching on. In the beauty of the lillies Christ was born across the sea, With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me: As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free, While God is marching on.

W., WASHINGTON, D. C., July 27. 1916. MRS. MARY TALBERT, 521 Michigan Ave., Buffalo, N. Y. MY DEAR MRS. TALBERT: I am writing you to ask your assistance in behalf of the Douglass Home here in the Capitol of the nation. This letter is written at the request of Hons. Whitefield McKinlay and A. H. Grimke. The National Woman's Federation of Clubs will soon meet in the City of Baltimore. During that time we want you to try and arrange for us to have ten minutes on the programme to make an appeal to the women to help save the famous Douglass Home. We want to make another appeal to the women to help us celebrate the one hundredth birthday anniversary of Mr. Douglass, next February, 1917. Very truly yours, MORTIMER M. HARRIS, Financial Secretary. WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 1, 1916. MRS. MARY TALBERT, President of National Association of Colored Women, 521 Michigan Ave., Buffalo, N. Y. DEAR MADAM: Referring to the matter of the Frederick Douglass Home, I beg to say that Mr. J. C. Napier and I have the honor to report that we have examined the charter granted by Congress incorporating this Home as well as the last will and testament of the late Mrs. Helen Douglass, the widow of Frederick Douglass. It is our opinion that your Association can assume the work of the preservation and maintenance of this property. We are advised by the trustees who now have the matter in charge that they are perfectly willing that you should do this, and further, that you should have a majority of the members of the Board of Trustees. There is nothing in the Articles of Incorporation or the will of Mrs. Douglass that will hinder or interfere with your work in any way. The title to the estate is in the corporation, but the trustees have complete charge of all the property connected with it. We do not hesitate to recommend to you that the National Association of Colored Women enter upon this splendid service for our race at its earliest convenience. We have every faith in the ability and energy of our women to perform the task of preserving the last home of the great Douglass as a perpetual memorial to the mighty work which he so effectively wrought for his people in particular and for mankind in general. Yours sincerely, ROBERT H. TERRELL. Municipal Court. 521 MICHIGAN AVE., BUFFALO, N. Y., Dec. 9, 1916. Dear Co-Worker: Since our convention at Baltimore, we have been trying to arouse every Negro woman in America to greater activity through her State President, and other officers. We realize that today is the psychological moment for us as women to show our true worth, and prove that the Negro woman of today measures up to those strong, 9sainted women of our race who passed through the fire of slavery and its galling remembrances. The committee sent out to investigate the Frederick Douglass Home, after carefully studying the situation and consulting with the Board of Trustees, together with Judge Robert H. Terrell, Hon. J. C. Napier, and Mrs. Addie W. Dickerson, Superintendent of our Legislative Department, hereby declare our purpose to wipe out the indebtedness on the home of the late Frederick Douglass, and restore it to its former beauty, that we may make of this historic place a hallowed spot where our boys and girls may gather during the years to come. and receive hope and inspiration and encouragement to go forth like Douglass and fight to win. The attainment of the goal depends upon the enlistment of every Negro man, woman, boy and girl in America. If we can mobilize all the resources of our Association we can save the home with one day's co-operative effort. We purpose to enlist the largest possible number of people, especially the boys and girls, in this part of the work of our Association and rely upon race loyalty and pride as the energizing power. We purpose to employ such methods as will enable us to use every resource within our power for the accomplishment of this task. The need is concrete, and we know that our share toward saving the home, is comparatively small. This, however, will give us the courage to feel that by all working together, it can be accomplished. We will thus place our Association on record as saying "I will," to our program of advancement. Every boy and girl should become a co-operative member in this program, and with that in view, we earnestly urge every Woman's Club in the United States, whether affiliated with their State organization or National Association or not, to aid us in commemorating the heroic deeds of this illustrious man, who did as much to abolish slavery as any man of his times. February 14th is regarded as his natal day. Celebrate! The entire week ("Douglass Week") could be used to arouse race loyalty. We trust that you will commence work now and co-operate with us in carrying out this program in your club, church and city, and may this gift of ours to our race be the beginning of years of victorious service. Mrs. Nettie L. Napier, 120 Fifteenth Ave., North, Nashville, Tennessee, has been appointed treasurer. Send all moneys to her. We have decided to place upon parchment, to hand on the walls of the Douglass Home, the names of every individual or club that contributes the sum of $25.00, and for the club which sends the greatest amount over $25.00, a special tablet will be placed. This is done that our children in the years to come, when paying their visit to this shrine, may read the names of loyal race men and women, who have proven false the accusation so long brought against us that "we show no gratitude for benefactors, if doing so cost dollars and cents." We need $15,000 for the saving and restoration of the home and grounds. How much will you and your club, church or organization give? Everyone who sends a dime shares in the redemption of the home and enters into partnership with the trustees. With abiding faith in our women to attempt and accomplish great things for God and the race, we remain, Sincerely your co-workers, THE DOUGLASS HOME COMMITTEE. FLORENCE RANDOLPH, Jersey City, N.J.

NAPIER, Nashville, Tenn, Treasurer. NANNIE H. BURROUGHS, D.C., Chairman. MARY B. TALBERT, President. "I know of no rights of race superior to the rights of humanity." 10124 East 28th St., New York, June 29, 1917. Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, 521 Michigan Ave., Buffalo, N. Y. My Dear Mrs. Talbert: Your good letter of June 14th recieved on return to my office after considerable absence. I have hastened to get the statement for you and enclose it herewith. I asked Mr. Archibald Grimke about the matter and he was kind enough to come over to my office and dictate it--he being in possession of the facts which are undisputible. I trust you will be able to use this matter to a good advantage. I hope you may be able to secure even a larger sum than you suggest from our rich business men. If they give according to the way they talk, I am sure the entire debt will be wiped out after you have made your statement. I congratulate you upon the amount you have been able to send on the mortgage debt and I shall pray and work if there is anything I can do to the end that you may be able to realize your fondest hope during the year. Any service I may be able to render, please command me. With all good wishes, I am, Very yours truly, J. E. MOORLAND. Statement Mr. Douglass left in his will, Cedar Hill, to Mrs. Douglass, but neglected to have this will witnessed by three witnesses, which is necessary under the District Code to passed real estate. After his death, Mrs. Douglass tried to get the heirs to agree with her to relinquish all their rights to Cedar Hill in order to make it a National Monument and Memorial to the memory of Mr. Douglass. The heirs refused to do so. In consequence, Mrs. Douglass was obliged to buy the interest of the heirs for $15,000 in cash, which she paid. This, therefore, placed Cedar Hill entirely in her hands to dispose of as she desired. In the same will Mr. Douglass also devised to Mrs. Douglass a United States bond of $10,000, but after his death it appeared that he had sold the bond and, therefore there was no bond to devise under the will. The courts decided that a devise of $10,000 bond was not a devise of $10,000, but that it was a specific devise of this bond and when no bond was found among his effects the legacy, therefore lapsed. Mr. Douglass, it will be seen, now had, under Mr. Douglass' will, lost at least $25,000, which left her in embarrassed circumstances. She was in need of funds to support herself and also to maintain Cedar Hill during her life time. This accounts for the mortgage upon the home of Mr. Douglass. In her will she left Cedar Hill to the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association to be kept forever as a memorial and monument to her illustrious husband. Before she died she succeeded in getting this Association incorporated by act of Congress and the home and estate exempted from taxation. The property at her death, therefore, came into possession of the trustees with a mortgage of $5,500 upon it. This mortgage the trustees were able to reduct to $4,000. Mrs. Douglass desired to make Cedar Hill for the colored people what Mount Vernon is to the whites, to gather into it all the mementoes connected with Mr. Douglass' life and everything would be collected respecting the history of the Anti- Slavery Struggle and the trusteed enlarged the idea by wishing to incorporate with her proposed collection all matters relating to the history of the Negro race in America and to gather within its walls the pictures or busts of its most distinguished and useful men and women.

"No man can put a chain about the ankle of his fellow man without at last finding the other end fastened about his own neck." 11521 Michigan Ave., BUFFALO, N.Y., April 28, 1921. To THE TRUSTEES AND MEMBERS OF ADVISORY BOARD OF THE FREDERICK DOUGLASS MEMORIAL AND HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION DEAR CO-WORKERS: The inclosed letter from Mr. Emmett Scott is self-explanatory. We are about to commence work upon the restoration of the home, and if you will help to the best of your strength it can be completed and dedicated at the close of our biennial in Richmond, Va. This does not mean that you can wait until we reach Richmond before sending in your money. I have set the price approximately at $10,000 for four years. Some of us have worked toward that end; some of us have not quite done our duty; some of us have not fulfilled the promises we made at Denver, and again at Tuskegee. It means now that we must work as hard as we did to pay the mortgage. Surely you must know some person who can help us in a substantial way. Remember, this does not include the restoration of furniture; that will be looked after as soon as the general repairs are made. Please send in all money you can raise to our custodian of funds, Mrs. J. C. Napier, 120 15th Ave. North, Nashville, Tenn. Will every Trustee and Member of the Board help us to put this over? Scarcely any money was sent to Mrs. Napier from the birthday celebration of Douglass. What did you do? How much did you send as a Trustee or Board Member? If you can send in $100.00 per month—I mean every member—we would be able to meet our bills as they become due. I shall keep a faithful record of every letter sent you; will give a faithful report of your co-operation at Richmond. We cannot afford to come up this time with excuses. Will you take up any territory you wish and get the money? To restore grounds and furniture will cost us at least $2,000 additional. A prompt reply to communications will show that you are interested. Failure to hear from you will tell me that you silently agree to all plans submitted, but are too busy to write. Remember, the Advisory Board is equal to importance and responsibility. Faithfully yours to serve, MARY B. TALBERT WASHINGTON, D.C., April 26,1921. MRS. MARY TALBERT, 521 Michigan Ave., Buffalo, New York. DEAR. MRS. TALBERT As I have already written you. Mr. Hazel and I have visited the Douglass Memorial Home. We would report and recommend that since the purpose is to preserve the building and grounds as a permanent memorial, that the repairs should be done in a very substantial manner. Where repairs to exterior are necessary, the general forms and details of the work replaced should follow closely the present work so as to preserve its character and identity. We find the foundations to be in good condition; also the brickwork appears to be in sound condition. A brought estimate of the cost of putting the house in a satisfactory state of repair is $10,000.00, but a more detailed inspection may be necessary, by a builder, before a close approximation as to cost could be reached. We would recommend: First, that no part of the sum in hand should be spent in the improvement of the ground. That first attention be given to the thorough repair of the structural parts of the house, such as floor joists, roof rafter, and roof covering, including cornices and gutters. The columns of the front porch appear to be sound. They should be removed and replaced after a new porch Is built, preserving the design and details of the present porch. Second: We would advise among the earlier things to be done, the installation of steam heat, at least the boiler and the piping. The radiators can be taken care of later. Next, more suitable plumbing, i. e., rough plumbing should be installed. Plumbing fixtures, such as bath tubs, lavatories, water closets, and sinks, can come later. Next, electric wiring for lighting. Fixtures to come later. We suggest that this be done in this order, because the plastering both in ceilings and walls is in very bad condition, and as the piping and wiring should be concealed, 12it would be a great economy to have this work done before any repairs to plastering are done. Most of the ceilings and many portions of the walls will need to be re-plastered. The window frames, sash, etc., will need looking after. All of the floors should be laid new, but this can be done from time to time, as funds are available. The old paint in the exterior brick work is badly scaled. It should be cleaned off and the brickwork repainted. This also can wait. The blinds need repairing. Whether the interior walls should be repapered or painted, would be a matter for those in charge to determine. As to the grounds, we would suggest that some slight changes be made in the contours of the terraces, so as to admit of new steps of easier ascent than the present ones. The repair and treatment of the grounds could be well postponed until all else has been attended to. Finally, if from the suggestions here made a program could be adopted containing such items as are approved and a schedule of those items handed to a general contractor, he could, after looking over the place, give a tentative itemized estimate of the cost. I venture to submit these suggestions to you with the hope that you will run through them at your early convenience, either personally of in council with your committee. If you will approve those items which strike you as being fundamentally important, we would then proceed to get from a contractor a fairly accurate estimate. What I want to do is to be sure that you get a dollar's worth for every dollar to be spent. In the matter of the contractors, I shall only approach those who are recorded as being first class and who will be absolutely square with us in the matter of carrying out your intentions. Mr. Hazel has been a very great help to me and I want to assure you again of the appreciation we both have at the opportunity of serving you and the ladies of the Douglass Memorial Committee. Very truly yours, EMMETT J. SCOTT. Extracts from the Last will and Testament of Helen A. Douglas "I give, devise and bequeath to 'The Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association,' its successors and assigns, forever, all that portion of my tract of land known as Cedar Hill, in the District of Columbia, bounded as follows, viz.: Beginning at the corner of Jefferson and Pierce streets in Anacostia, D. C., and running with the easterly line of said street along the western boundary of my said tract of land to the present terminus of said street, then with a prolongation of said easterly line of said Pierce street to a point therein from which a line, run at right angles to said prolonged line, will fall about fifty (50) feet south of the circular roadway south of the present brick carriage house and stable, thence easterly from said point to the line between 'Woodland,' now owned by Mrs. Fanny Pitts, and 'Cedar Hill,' thence with said line to Jefferson street ; thence with the south line of said Jefferson street to the place of beginning ; together with the house standing in the midst of said tract, being the former home of the late Frederick Douglass, and all other buildings and improvements thereon; also all the household furniture, books, statuary, paintings, pictures of every kind, silverware and all other articles of personal property now contained in said house or premises, with the exception of such articles as I shall mention in a list of gifts to be prepared under my direction. * * * The said land and appurtenances to be held by said Association, its successors, and assigns, as a perpetual memorial of my said late husband, Frederick Douglass. * * * "I further desire and direct that the trees within the bounds of the land aforesaid be preserved as far as possible, and the house thereon, the late residence of the said Frederick Douglass, be kept in perfect and constant repair, * * * "I also desire * * * that the stationary bookcase and desk and the pictures now in said library shall remain as now arranged, that the room may appear as it did in the lifetime of Frederick Douglass." 13IN MEMORY OF HELEN PITTS DOUGLASS 1837-1903 BY HEROIC SACRIFICE SHE RETAINED THIS HOME THAT IT COULD BE USED AS A MEMORIAL TO HER BELOVED HUSBAND THE HELEN PITTS DOUGLASS TABLET. The modest little tablet, in keeping with her character, erected as a tribute to Helen Pitts Douglass, is placed in the former library of her beloved husband. The decorative ivy leaves are the symbol of womanly l ove. They represent also the "clinging to" ideals and "striving upwards." "The Supreme Court of the United States is the autocratic power in our government. No monarch in Europe has a power more absolute over the laws, lives, and liberties of his people than that court has over our laws, lives, and liberties. Its judges live and ought to live an eagle's flight beyond the reach of fear or favor, praise or blame, profit or loss. Their decision should come down to us like the calm, clear light of infinite justice." 14TO HONOR THE MEMORY OF FREDRICK DOUGLAS S AND TO REDEEM THIS HOME SHE GAVE THE LARGEST DONATION THIS TABLET ERECTED AS A TRIBUTE TO MME. C. J. WALKER "LORD LET ME LIVE FROM DAY TO DAY IN SUCH A SELF-FORGETFUL "WAY - THAT WHEN I KNEEL TO PRAY - MY "PRAYER SHALL BE - FOR OTHERS" HER MOTTO THE MME. WALKER TABLET. The tablet erected as a tribute to Mme. C. J. Walker, placed in the entrance hall, contains a portrait of relief reminiscent of the well-known photograph. For the purpose of this memorial it was desirable, however, to change the expression to a more serious one. The benefactress seems to gaze upon the observer thoughtfully and with kind intent, an expression in keeping with her motto, which is placed below. Conventionalized lilies and rosettes further decorate this tablet. "Our papers insist it is a bill for social equality. If it is, so is the Declaration of Independence, which declares that all men have equal rights. So is the Sermon on the Mount. So is the Golden Rule, which commands us to do unto others as we would others should do to us; so is all apostolic teaching that of one blood God has made all nations to dwell on the earth; so is the constitution of the United States, and so are the laws and customs of every civilized country in the world; for nowhere outside of the United States is any man denied civil rights on account of his color." 15The Story of Fredrick Douglass As told on the Contributors' Tablets "That future generations might know and revere"—something of the story of Douglass, something of his love crowded with strange contrasts, dramatic incidents, pathos and poetic justice, something of his hardships, his determination and something of his triumph has been recorded on these tablets, which contain the names, and represent a tribute to those who by their generous contributions made is possible to redeem and restore this home of Douglass, that it might be used as a museum. This is entirely fitting. Ever since the earliest civilizations has the art of the sculptor recorded in enduring bronze, marble or granite the achievements of the human endeavor. Truly does the sculpture of each period reflect the ideals and attainments of individuals, nations and races of mankind, and from it succeeding generations have have ever drawn aspiration as well as inspiration. In the story of Douglass there is much to stimulate the ambitious youth of present and future generations. The fight for Freedom and for Human Rights, which Douglass successfully waged, is told on the first tablet, while the second illustrates the recognition he received as the able thinker and leader of his people. The circular relief of the first tablet, entitled "The Last Time He Saw His Mother," reveals one of the most pathetic phases of slave existence. It refers to the mother who walked many weary miles after a hard day's work for an occasional glimpse of her child,—never knowing when, if ever, she would see him again. She finds him starved and ill-treated, but now supremely happy in his mothers arms. "That night," wrote Douglass, "I learned as I had never learned before, that i was not only a child, but somebody's child." The mother, having crushed her child to her breast in the first ecstacy or reunion, is here shown as immeasurably saddened by her forebodings, momentarily overcome by her mental anguish. while struggling against tears, mother-like she turns aside her head, that the few fleeting moments spent with her "Fred" might appear only happy to him. "Driven To Jail" is the title of the first oblong panel, which shows the unfortunate slaves driven onward by the mounted and heavily armed constables, who are totally indifferent to the sufferings of their prisoners. Weary of body and soul, hands tied behind their backs, bareheaded and barefooted. Douglass and his companions are plodding along, mile after mile, to the distant jail, not knowing what awful punishment fate may have in store for them. Despondently, young Douglass bows his head. He (Having learned to read and write by stealth) as a natural leader having planned the escape which was frustrated, feels heavily the burden of responsibility, though his friends realized that he was not to blame "I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong" 15THE LAST TIMELESS [?????] AS A TRIBUTE TO THOSE WHO BY THEIR GENEROUS CONTRIBUTIONS MADE IT POSSIBLE TO REDEEM AND RESTORE THIS HOME, THIS TABLET WAS ERECTED BY THE FREDERICK DOUGLASS MEMORIAL AND HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION MARY B.

But his fight for Freedom did not end there; in a larger sense, there it began. Now a free man—as long as he kept out of the clutches of the slave agents—Douglass became, that all other slaves might be free, a most ardent and most vehement and also most hated Abolitionist lecturer. A man of lesser courage, both mental and physical, would have been overwhelmed by opposition; but he kept on. It is this period that the panel, "The Anti-Abolitionist Mob," represents. The lecturer's stand has been torn down by the hired ruffians of the powers in favor of continued slavery. The earnest listeners, whose sense of justice and decency caused them to favor abolition of slavery, have been dispersed, and Douglass is now the storm-center upon whom the anger of the mob is vented. Surrounded on all sides, ably defending himself, he is about to be struck down from behind. Not even a broken wrist. which never properly mended, could alter his determination. Vastly different are the scenes on the second tablet. The struggle for Freedom has at last been won. Personality and the ability to plead the cause of his people gained friends in high places. His worth was promptly recognized by the leaders and thinkers of his time, and many posts of honor and responsibility were awarded to him. His appointment as member of the "Santo Domingo Commission" serves as the motive for the first panel. The Commissioners are grouped on the deck of the U. S. S. Tennessee, apparantly in friendly discussion of the subject in question. Douglass, seated on the left, is intently listening to some remark by Mr. Hurlburt, on the right (then editor of the New York World). who strongly impressed him "as one remarkable for his knowledge and refinement." (It was just this ability to constantly learn from those with whom he came in contact which accounts in part for his remarkable rise to intellectual heights.) The other Commissioners are grouped about the two central figures. The selection of Douglass to visit Santo Domingo with the Commission brought about a then unheard of situation—an ex-slave as a U. S. Government representative, treated with every courtesy and placed at the captains table of a U.S man-o'-war! When Douglass was appointed as Marshal of the District of Colombia, a clamoring opposition arose. As Douglass humorously described it in his Autobiography : " . . . But the most dreadful thing threatened" (by his appointment) "was a colored man at the executive mansion, in white kid gloves, sparrow-tailed coat, patent leather boots and alabaster cravat, performing the ceremony ... of introducing the aristocratic citizens of the republic to the President of the United States. This was entirely too much to be borne." But the Senate proptly confirmed this appointment by President Hayes, and the scene shown on the other oblong relief depicts Douglass as leading the procession at the "Inauguration of President Garfield" in "A nation composed of all classes should be governed by no one class exclusively. All should be included and none excluded." 18AS A TRIBUTE TO THOSE WHO BY THEIR GENEROUS CONTRIBUTIONS MADE IT POSSIBLE TO REDEEM AND RESTORE THIS HOME.

Lined up along the walls are U.S. Army and Navy officer, dignitaries and other distinguished visitors. (Compare this procession with the one on the first tablet!) The circular relief portrays an incident of great interest which occurred some time before, at President Lincoln's second inauguration. The long line of visitors paying their respect to the President were not a little startled to hear him exclaim: " Here comes my friend Douglass!" The relief shows our great President in the act of shaking hands with Douglass, at which time he detained Douglass, keenly interested to know what he (Douglass) thought of his second inaugural address. The dignified, thoughtful bearing of Douglass suggests his reply, which was: " Mr. Lincoln, that was a sacred effort." This opinion—given soon after the address was delivered—is now shared by the whole world. The third tablet, which concludes the list of contributors and [??ors] also former Trustees, contains a portrait relief of Frederick Douglas. The student of physiognomy will find in his features a remarkable blend of courage and kindness, modesty and spirit, lines of determination and lines of humor. His eyes are still alight with the fire which made him the most magnetic orator of his time. His lips are well formed, which is characteristic of public speakers, while the firm and straight poise of the head is forceful and noble. The "lamp of learning" placed at the base of the tablet, in the symbolical language of sculpture, here implies that Douglass was of scholarly habits. The final decoration of the first tablet consists of the "Broken Chain of Slavery" and the "Rising Sun of a New Era" (meaning Emancipation), while the second tablet shows the "Torch of Liberty." "The Fasces" (a bundle of sticks with axe in center—same as on the new dime), which is the symbol of Equal Rights, and the "Trumpet of Fame" completes this expression of tribute. It is interesting to note that the sculptor used the symbols of the "Broken Chain" and the "Rising Sun of a New Era" (his own conception) for the first time on the Douglass stature, or rather "termini" (as a portrait of monumental character, without shoulders and ending in a post-like base is called), which was erected at Elmwood Park, East Orange. N.J., last Columbus Day, a replica of which was presented by the sculptor to the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association. This portrait of Douglass is one of the four representing the Gifts of Culture of the four races to America (the U.S.A.), comprising a Court of Honor in connection with the central group, entitled "The Shrine of Human Rights." This group symbolizes the ideals of America and on each base or step is recorded some one step in advance, some epoch in history which contributed toward greater freedom of mankind. The Emancipation Declaration figures prominently in these records. As with the heads of the individuals representing the other races, this head of Douglass is symbolical rather than merely literal, since it represents "Speech is the lever that moves the world." 20 AS A TRIBUTE TO THOSE WHO BY THEIR GENEROUS CONTRIBUTIONS MADE IT POSSIBLE TO REDEEM AND RESTORE THIS HOME- THIS TABLET WAS ERECTED BY THE FREDERICK DOUGLASS MEMORIAL AND HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION FORMER TRUSTEES WHO UNTIRINGLY SERVED MANY YEARS REV.

The general treatment of this piece of sculpture is Egyptian in manner and the hair as well as the beard is slightly conventionalized, not unlike that of an Egyptian prince. Of interest are the reasons why Douglass was selected for this honor in preference to Booker T. Washington and Toussaint, whose names, however, also appear on the pedestal. Mr. Alden Freemen of East Orange, N. J., the donor, and Mr. Ulric Henry Elerhusen, the sculptor, favored Douglass because of their regret at his not having been elected to the Hall of Fame, because his gift of culture was unique, and because his rise to intellect brought into focus and realization the fact that his people constituted a potential asset to the United States, as developments of the last half of the nineteenth century have amply proven. "This Fourth of July is yours, not mine. You may rejoice, I must mourn. To drag a man in fetters into the grand illuminated temple of liberty and call upon him to join your joyous anthems were inhuman mockery and sacrilegious irony." 22 An Appreciation BY MARY B. TALBERT Our sculptor, Mr. Ulric H. Ellerhusen, whose studio is at 51 W. Tenth Street, New York, is one of the most prominent of the younger American sculptors, being a professional member and actively interested in most of the art organizations of national importance. His work ranges from the small medal to colossal conceptions, as those who visited the San Francisco Exposition will recall, he having created most of the sculptural embellishments of the famous Palace of Fine Arts—still extant. Some of his more recent works are a Memorial Fountain for Yale University, trophies for the three fleets of the U. S. Navy, the Pennsylvania Railroad War Hero Medal (of which 27,000 copies were struck), garden sculpture for the "Greystone on the Hudson" estate of Samuel Untermeyer, the sculptural scheme for Elmwood Park, East Orange, N. J. (described in connection with the Story of Douglass), portraits of prominent people and also "small bronzes," charmingly modeled and showing the same keen insight and sympathetic interpretation, as does his other work. About the "Mme. Walker" and other portraits, recently exhibited, a critic wrote; "The exhibits of sculpture are interesting for bringing forward into special emphasis the work of Ulric H. Ellerhusen, lavishing a pliant touch in modeling on the characterization of portrait work in relief. …” Though a decorator by instinct, his work is never only decorative but always imbued with charm and personality. Our contributors' tablets, rendered difficult on account of the mass of inscription, are a fair example of his skill as a designer. Pleasing of proportion, one mass of lettering plays against the other. Instead of having the unhappy appearance of a building directory, as is the case with most name tablets, all of the inscriptions are so co-ordinated as to form a part of the general decorative arrangement, which brings out to best advantage the charm and the sympathetic conception and rendering of the story of Douglass. "I warn the American people that, strong and prosperous though we be, there is a power above us that can bring down our high looks, at the breath of whose mouth our wealth may take wings, and before whom every knee shall bow; and who can tell how soon the avenging angel shall pass over our land." 27Program MRS.

JOHNSON National Negro Hymn "I remember that God reigns in eternity and that whatever delays, disappointments and discouragements may come, truth, justice, liberty and humanity will ultimately prevail." 29Battle Hymn of the Republic Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord; He is tramping out the vintage of where the grapes of wrath are stored; He has loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword; His truth is marching on. CHORUS Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on. I have seen Him in the watchfires of a hundred circling camps; They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps; I can read His righteous sentence by dim and glaring lamps; His day is marching on. CHORUS In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me; As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free, While God is marching on CHORUS Faith of Our Fathers Faith of our fathers! living still In spite of dungeon, fire and sword ; O how our hearts beat high with joy, Where'er we hear that glorious word : CHORUS Faith of our fathers! holy faith! We will be true to thee till death. Our fathers, chained in prisons dark, Were still in heart and conscience free ; How sweet would be their children's fate If they, like them, could die for thee ! CHORUS Faith of our fathers, God's great power Shall soon all nations win for thee ; And through the truth that comes from God Mankind shall then be truly free. CHORUS Faith of our fathers, we will love Both friend and foe in all our strife, And preach thee too, as love knows how, By kindly words and virtuous life. CHORUS "Nowhere, outside of the United States, is any man denied civil rights on account of his color." 30Lift Every Voice and Sing National Negro Hymn Words by James Weldon Johnson ; Music by J. Rosamond Johnson Lift ev'ry voice and sing, Till earth and heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of Liberty ; Let our rejoicing rise High as the list'ning skies, Let it resound loud as the rolling sea, - Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us ; Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, Let us march on till victory is won. Stony the road we trod, Bitter the chast'ning rod, Felt in the days when hope unborn had died; Yet with steady beat, Have not our weary feet Come to the place for which our fathers sighed? We have come over a way that with tears has been watered We have come, treading our path thro' the blood of the slaughtered, Out from the gloomy past Till now we stand at last Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who has brought us thus far on the way ; Thou who hast by Thy might, Led us into the light, Keep us forever in the path, we pray. Lest our feet stray from the place our God, where we met Thee, Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee ; Shadowed beneath Thy hand, May we forever stand, True to our God, True to our native land. "Usefulness is the price of existence. Do or die, wear out or rust out, bring forth fruit or be cut down, is the law now and always." 31Frederick DouglassDouglass Memorial HomeNames Inscribed on Memorial Tablets Every individual or organization that has contributed at least $25,00, either for the redemption or restoration of this home, is inscribed upon these tablets in grateful appreciation.
