Benjamin Franklin did have some notable advantages to Douglass. For one he was a white man, who was able to attend some schooling, but he also had a large family whom were able to find him a trade.

After Stalin died, Dolmatovsky rewrote the portions of the text of the first, fifth, and seventh songs with Shostakovich’s acknowledgement to cut all references to Stalin for the 1962 Muzgiz edition; the poems in this paper are the altered versions according to the 1962 revision.

    seeking my undergraduate university degree several years ago. Yet some of America’s best colleges and universities are putting political correctness ahead of traditional academic policy by stripping the once-popular TV comedian Bill Cosby of his honorary degrees, in response to allegations that Cosby sexually assaulted numerous women.
