formidable talent been brought to the mass audience since he starred in the popular Bla-cula movies in the early Encouraged by the current success of Gandhi a group led by Marshall and Jarrico is seeking a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to produce a feature-length film biography of Douglass want to aim at younger people and give them more on his Marshall said have many of the same problems today The unity of labor was one of his great interests I think he would be disappointed that the ERA has not passed He spoke out for rights in the No doubt Douglass would be concerned at the seeming decline of social activism in the present decade As far back as the early 1840s he was dragged from trains for protesting segregated seating who profess to favor freedom and to the task at hand The body of human rights had to be put into effect so there could be a fresh start for the United States You say all men are created equal and hold a whip and a gun over Since the Marshall has toured the campus circuit with a 110-minute version of the of speech want to bring them the living presence of Doug- lass" he said "but television and movies have cut their attention span They take 2 4 hours without going for beer or For PBS presentation Sylvia Jarrico has written passages of biographical narrative and put them into the mouth of the subject As with other one-man shows of this type the words of the playwright often sound flat and vaguely anachronistic compared to the historical own diction Some of staging is distracting in its artificiality and there is a puzzling moment at the outset when Marshall must pantomime a stoning at the hands of a hostile crowd But these minor flaws do not detract signficantly from Marshall was cast as Douglass in a Greenwich Village production of William In Splendid Error The play focused on foie as a on the underground railway for fugitive slaves and on his relationship with John Brown a time Brown lived in house in Rochester

Marshall read The Life and Times of Frederick Douglass a few years later Gradually memory became mission look upon him as one of the Founding Marshall said life was the embodiment of the Bill of Rights and he was not compromised by a commitment to slavery as the Founding Fathers were I find him perhaps our greatest teacher and one of his students He was constantly re-manufacturing himself so

dramatic monologue by William Marshall who has portrayed Douglass in various one-man shows over the past decade The rhetorical highlight is a 14-minute distillation of famous 1852 speech to the Slave Is Your Fourth of am not included within the pale of this glorious Marshall begins in stately cadence Fourth of July is yours not mine You may rejoice I must By the end Marshall is aflame with the moral outrage of words: him the slave your celebration is a sham a thin veil to cover up crimes that would disgrace a nation of savages For revolting barbarity and shameless hypocrisy America reigns without a rival" Director Ivan Dixon holds a close-up of Marshall breathing hard with anger at hundreds of years of injustice As the image fades to black you may find your own heart pounding On July 4 1974 at the Kennedy Center in Washington Marshall delivered Independence Day oration in its awesome entirety A distinguished audience listened for 22 hours took me as long as Douglass" Marshall recalled Monday the audience was conditioned for it They were quite patient I was introduced by Ruby Dee and they began talking to each other I sure why I think it was the physical resemblance to Douglass At the end they rose to a man in appreciation for my performance perhaps but also because they needed to stretch" That physical resemblance was first noted in the early when William Marshall as Frederick Douglass: greatest teacher yet depreciate agitation are men who want crops without plowing up the Douglass declared yields nothing without a was ahead of his time" Marshall said ahead of
