Additional Details

One side has a small portrait of Douglass and lists the members of the monument committee, and the other shows the monument over a quotation from an 1857 Douglass speech: 'Men do not live by bread alone; so with nations, they are not saved by art, but by honesty; not by gilded splendors of wealth, but by the hidden treasure of manly virtue; not by the multitudinous gratifications of the flesh, but by the celestial guidance of the spirit.'
