A Second Look
During our service last Sunday, July 5, we spoke of Frederick Douglass’ famous 1852 speech “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” We thank Adelaide DiGiorgi and Linda Swann for finding and sharing a link to the speech
HERE
. And we thank the Men's Group for an excellent, thought-provoking service. (Also of interest, a recording of actor Ossie Davis delivering the speech
HERE
, and a video of young descendants of Douglass reading moving excerpts
HERE
.)
