Like the copy of Martin Luther King Jr's "Letter from Birmingham Jail" at LetterFromJail.com, this website acts a resource for accessing the direct text of a civil rights activist's words.A lot of web design considerations came up while I was making this. I wanted the text to be complete and accurate, but also have pull quotes to break up the walls of text. I made a few corrections found in the multiple source texts I consulted. I've added several Wikipedia links to figures, events, and Bible passages mentioned in the speech.
I wanted it to look good on desktop and mobile, and chose a sans serif font to give Douglass's words a modern look. I added social media share buttons and a link to a PDF version. The printer version of the site removes a lot of the unnecessary website cruft. The entire site fits on a single page, with an intro and FAQ at the top for SEO purposes. Each paragraph has a permalink for direct linking as well as a "Copy to Clipboard" button. The full speech can also be copied to the clipboard with a single click of the "Copy Speech to Clipboard" link.
The two portrait images of Douglass are from Wikipedia, one from his younger years and the other from his senior years, and they've been shrunk and converted to webp to trim their file size. Alt tags have been added to the images. The entire site weight is 146kb.
I create a sitemap.xml and robots.txt file to direct search engines to index the page, and a GitHub repo allows people to submit changes.[Link
