There is still a need for women's colleges, and if women who cannot afford a private women's college are to reap their benefits, there is certainly a need for one at a state university.
Certainly, at Douglass College this was the case in the early 1990s when I was a student and, as Barretto noted in her comments, still is the case now.
Douglass' mission - still relevant today and perhaps even more so when we look at the obstacles women today face on a global level - is fulfilled in large part through the assistance of the Associate Alumnae of the College (both monetary and in-kind).

 Frederick Douglass (1818-1895)
The movement from slavery to "freedom" is obviously important, as is the particular means by which Douglass achieves his freedom--the role literacy plays in his struggle.
Douglass's command of the formal principles of oratory and rhetoric should be emphasized, as well as his use of the conventions of both sentimental literature and the rhetoric and symbolism of evangelical Christianity.
In short, it is important to note how Douglass appropriated the dominant literary styles of mid-nineteenth-century American life to articulate his claims on behalf of African-American humanity.
