Happy Douglass Day! Today is not only the 1 year anniversary of the relaunch of @TheNorthStar, it is the special day that Frederick Douglass chose as his birthday. Most enslaved Africans were denied the most basic information on their birth and family. So he chose today.

We passed the Equal Pay Act in 1963. It is now 2020. Women are still paid on average 80 cents on the dollar. Black women 61 cents. Native American women 58 cents. Latinas 53 cents. This is an injustice and it's got to change.
