- On July 5 ,1852, Frederick Douglass delivered a speech to the Rochester Ladies’ Antislavery Society. The abolitionist and orator asked the mostly White audience to consider, “What, to the Slave, Is the Fourth of July?” Douglass’ resolute denunciations of slavery and forceful examination of the constitution challenge us to consider the histories we tell, the values they teach, and if our actions match our aspirations. Communities across Massachusetts continue to read the speech together during Juneteenth and July 4th commemorations. This year, Mass Humanities invited residents from around the commonwealth to create a new recording of the speech. Mass Humanities in partnership with The Emancipator presents “The Meaning of July 4th for the Negro,” abridged.
Fredrick Douglas is an Ancestor of my husband and two children and we are very proud of their lineage. What a fearless intelligent man he. I’m grateful that his legacy lives on for us to pattern ourselves after. We are proud and grateful to you for your presentation.
I loved hearing all of these Americans’ voices united as one voice.
My father's were enslaved to build his country yet I don't get represented
This Brother Fredrick was a good man, he just was in a wrong time and why black people 4"of July, when we were in slavery, doing that time in the singing of the Constitution"!!!!
