Reading "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?"
The Robbins House, 320 Monument Street, Concord
This event consists of three parts: reading of selections from the Declaration of Independence by a Park re-enactor in 18th century dress to set the background for Douglass’s 1852 speech; next will be a participatory community reading of Douglass’ speech, followed by a discussion of the Douglass speech through thought-provoking questions and discourse on the meaning of the speech in Douglass’ time and in our own.  | add to my calendar |
