        Note that I generated this animation with technology on the "My Heritage" website: https://myheritage.com/deep-nostalgia/result/863659401-500004 …. As always, be cautious of data-mining.

        Here's another animation of Frederick Douglass that @jcdmce generated earlier today (which got me hooked on these animations in the first place). That subtle smile at the end puts Mona Lisa to shame.pic.twitter.com/fzzIm7bL56
