Join us on Tuesday, July 5 at 1:00 pm for a public reading of “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July,” by Frederick Douglass. This event is free to the public and will be held rain or shine. Community members are asked to join and read a section of the speech. No sign-up in advance is needed, and Rokeby will provide sections for individuals to read. Following the reading, we will have a public discussion on the legacy of this speech. Delivered on July5, 1852, in Rochester, NY, Douglass’s speech reflects on the American values of liberty, citizenship, freedom, and the hypocrisy of not bestowing these values to the enslaved population in America. #rokebymuseum #frederickdouglass #july5th #readingfrederickdouglass #vermont #btv
