I wanted to pay tribute to two major moments in American history that we celebrate this year. And that is the 150th Anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation and the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington. And I thought I would start with one of my favorite civil rights icons "Frederick Douglass." He was simple a force to be reckoned with, between his booming voice and huge frame. He was definitely a man amongst men, and an amazing writer. So here's a toast to Freedom, cheers!
