In 1867, only two years after the slavery ended in the U.S., Douglass spoke out against racism against Chinese and Japanese Americans. He argued that Chinese immigrants should be allowed to become citizens just like any other immigrants.
He envisioned a "Composite Nation," a multi-racial, multicultural America that recognized human rights.
