Like <span class=\"xn-person\">Frederick Douglass<\/span> in <span class=\"xn-location\">Ireland<\/span>, you can come as you are, and you can leave who you aspire to be.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Following the roundtable, which was attended by many of the Frederick Douglass Global Fellows who will travel to <span class=\"xn-location\">Ireland<\/span> this summer, the Taoiseach said: &#8220;I was delighted to join Vice President Harris this morning in meeting these exceptional young people.\u00a0Frederick Douglass has a vital and valued legacy on either side of the Atlantic and my Government is delighted to mark the 175th anniversary of his historic tour of <span class=\"xn-location\">Ireland<\/span> by welcoming twenty brilliant American students from minority backgrounds to follow in the great abolitionist&#8217;s footsteps and learn of the influential relationship between <span class=\"xn-person\">Daniel O&#8217;Connell<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-person\">Frederick Douglass<\/span>.\u00a0Today&#8217;s meeting with the Fellows is also a great opportunity to recognize the great diversity that powers both our countries and our relationship today.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s fitting that this diverse group of young people will have the opportunity to develop their leadership skills in a place so special to <span class=\"xn-person\">Frederick Douglass<\/span>,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Nettie Washington Douglass<\/span>, chairwoman and co-founder of Frederick Douglass Family Initiatives, and the great-great-granddaughter of <span class=\"xn-person\">Frederick Douglass<\/span> and great-granddaughter of <span class=\"xn-person\">Booker T.

I can think of no better place for future American leaders to gain a global perspective and prepare to be agents of change.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<span class=\"xn-person\">Frederick Douglass<\/span> was transformed by his time in <span class=\"xn-location\">Ireland<\/span> and returned to America in 1847 as a free man, spending the next 50 years of his life agitating for positive change in our world,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">James P.
