Join us as we once again read together the fiery July 5, 1852 speech in which the great abolitionist orator Frederick Douglass took exception to being asked to commemorate the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This is a participatory event. Community members are invited to witness and/or join in the reading at and around the Quechee Green gazebo on Saturday, July 2, 11 am.
This year’s event is co-sponsored by the Quechee Public Library and the Quechee Club’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Council. There will be copies of the speech available at the green. We are hoping for a large turnout, rain or shine.
