Mob Vows to Tear Down DC Emancipation Memorial that was paid for by former slaves.

The DC monument the mob intends to destroy was paid for by donations from emancipated African-Americans in 1876. Frederick Douglass spoke at the unveiling. In 1974, it was rotated to face a memorial honoring celebrated black educator Mary McLeod Bethune. https://t.co/8UCo9MenCg
