Historical black and white portrait photograph of Frederick Douglass as a young man, wearing a suit jacket, vest, and high-collared shirt, with a serious, direct expression. The image has a sepia-toned, aged parchment background. A semi-transparent "GE" (Godless Engineer) watermark logo appears on the left side. Bold black text with slight shadow at the top reads: "I ASSERT MOST UNHESITATINGLY, THAT THE RELIGION OF THE SOUTH IS A MERE COVERING FOR THE MOST HORRID CRIMES,—A JUSTIFIER OF THE MOST APPALLING BARBARITY,—A SANCTIFIER OF THE MOST HATEFUL FRAUDS,—AND A DARK SHELTER UNDER, WHICH THE DARKEST, FOULEST, GROSSEST, AND MOST INFERNAL DEEDS OF SLAVEHOLDERS FIND THE STRONGEST PROTECTION." Bottom text reads: "FREDERICK DOUGLASS"
Religion played a major part in the slave trade of America's past. Frederick Douglass points out how it's used as a cover for the heinous actions of the Southern slave holders.
