The Meaning of the Fourth of July

Wednesday, July 1st, 6:00 pm
Catamount Center for the Arts

Join us as we read together the fiery July 5, 1852 speech in which the great abolitionist orator Frederick Douglass took exception to being asked to commemorate the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

This is a participatory event where we invite community members to witness and/or join in this communal reading. Copies of the speech will be provided. Following the reading, there will be a discussion and light refreshments.
