Experience a conversation that transcends time - and American history - as you witness an imagined conversation between Thomas Jefferson and Frederick Douglass, the 19th century American abolitionist, author, editor, and diplomat. Although Jefferson (1743-1826) and Douglass (1818-1895) lived during different eras in time, the issues of slavery and "justice for all" confronted them both, albeit differently.
