(8,201 posts)1. I had no idea! I'm watching Rachel now and my jaw is on the floor.
For folks who don't know, Mount Misery was where Douglass was sent to be tortured until he broke. His writing about his time there lit a fire under the abolitionist movement.
And now she is brilliantly tying it into Rumsfeld's support of torture.

I'm 68 and it's a thrill to still be able to learn something completely new most days.

(P.S. Mt. Misery is located 'not far' from me and my house in southern MD, across the Bay.)
