LOCATION
The Somerville Museum hosts an annual reading of Frederick Douglass’ famous address, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” delivered to an AntiSlavery Society in 1852. We are part of a number of communities across the Commonwealth that read this address together and reflect on our past and present. The readings are followed with a discussion led by our Project Scholar, Kyera Singleton. This year, we’re also joining forces with local organizations – The Somerville Community Growing Center, Community Action Agency of Somerville (CAAS), and Bow Market.
The reading will take place on Wednesday, June 28, 5:00 - 6:30 p.m. at Bow Market (upstairs level, indoors).
