We will gather at Rokeby Museum at 3:00 pm on Sunday, July 3 to join together in a community reading of Frederick Doulgass’s most famous speech.
Asked to deliver a 4th of July oration, Douglass refused. Instead, he delivered his powerful condemnation of American hypocrisy – “What to the slave is the 4th of July” – on July 5. His words ring true more than 150 years later, and the speech is widely considered to be his best.
Join us and add your voice to this statewide public reading sponsored by the Vermont Humanities Council. The event is free.
We hope to see you there!
