Compare the impact that frederick douglass and satchel paige each had on african americans rights

Frederick Douglass was one of the most brilliant speakers of his time, he considers that his time of slavery, of so much work and sacrifices was the noblest and best part of his life. When he was free he offered advice to the whites of the north who asked what should be done "with the black man". Do not do anything with us. All I ask is, give him a chance to stand on his own legs, leave him alone. Douglass wanted black Southerners to have a fair chance and be treated like other Americans, with equality in the courts, at the polls and in the market .

Leroy "satchel" Paige was the most beloved black player in the United States, the first in the historic movement of the Dodgers and the first of the players of the Black League included in the hall of fame.
