Read these stanzas from the poem "Frederick Douglass" by Paul Laurence Dunbar.

A hush is over all the teeming lists,
And there is pause, a breath-space in the strife;
A spirit brave has passed beyond the mists
And vapors that obscure the sun of life.
And Ethiopia, with bosom torn,
Laments the passing of her noblest born.

And he was no soft-tongued apologist;
He spoke straight-forward, fearlessly uncowed;
The sunlight of his truth dispelled the mist
And set in bold relief each dark-hued cloud;
To sin and crime he gave their proper hue,
And hurled at evil what was evil's due.

Thro' good and ill report he cleaved his way
Right onward, with his face set toward the heights,
Nor feared to face the foeman's dread array—
The lash of scorn, the sting of petty spites.
He dared the lightning in the lightning's track,
And answered thunder with his thunder back.

How is the message of this poem similar to the poet’s message in "The Courage That My Mother Had"?

Both poems celebrate a brave struggle for equal rights.
Both poems mourn the bravery of one who has died.
Both poems struggle to overcome their grief.
Both poems express thanks for inherited traits.
