The day dawns — the morning star is bright upon the horizon! The iron gate of our prison stands half open. One gallant rush from the North will fling it wide open, while four millions of our borthers and sisters shall march out into Liber- ty. Likewise, in many instances, our eyes were only half open.

The iron gate of our prison stands half open. One gallant rush from the North will fling it wide open, while four millions of our brothers and sisters shall march out into Li- berty. — Frederick Douglass That was the beginning of our routine, yet unique school day at Douglass, where strengthening loose threads and building sound foundations was an instinct.
