Frederick Douglass Historic Speech Live Reading
Date TBA

The live reading of the speech by Frederick Douglass, will take place again this year at the Federated Church Meetinghouse. Douglass, an escaped slave, became one of the most powerful speakers in the abolitionist movement. You can watch the recording on our homepage in 'archived service."

Douglass's powerful speech “What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?” was first presented to the women of the Rochester Anti-Slavery Sewing Society on July 5, 1852 at Corinthian Hall in Rochester, New York.
