From the Paper:

"Frederick Douglass in his autobiography, 'Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass', skillfully illustrates the exploitation and cruelty of the institution of slavery. The degradation and mistreatment visited upon African-Americans continues to this day. The most shocking detail of the ongoing humiliation facing African- Americans is who the facilitators are. The insurgence of the "ghetto" rap music industry continues to uphold the values of the slave owners to the tune of a billion-dollars a year."
