Explanation:

Frederick Douglass's 1852 speech What to the Slave is the Fourth of July? centers on highlighting the hypocrisy of American celebrations of independence. The Declaration of Independence asserts that "all men are created equal" and inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Douglass argues that the enslavement and oppression of Black people directly violate these core principles of the Declaration. He does not object to the Declaration's ideals, nor does he use it to support every claim, and the Declaration was written decades before his speech.

Answer:

Douglass's speech proclaims that the treatment of Black people directly contradicts the Declaration of Independence.
