Stagville Historic Site in Durham, NCStagville and the Roots of Durham
Start you July 4th off Intentionally on the 250th Anniversary of the US
Instead of our monthly PA Hangout for July PA encourages you to attend the Stagville Historic Site annual Frederick Douglass Community Reading. This is a wonderful way to take time to reflect on this holiday as well as visit an historic site in Durham. Register and we will keep an eye out for you!
Description:Commemorate Independence Day with a reading of Frederick Douglass' powerful Fourth of July address, "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July." This is a participatory community reading. Every year, 60 volunteers sign up to read passages from the speech in front of the slave dwellings at Horton Grove. You may sign up as a reader when you arrive.
Douglass delivered this powerful abolitionist speech on July 5, 1852 at an Independence Day celebration in Rochester, New York. Douglass' speech remains one of the most famous abolitionist texts in U.S. history. The speech resonates today, inviting all to reflect on the history of slavery, freedom, and the United States' founding ideals.
Bring a chair or blanket to sit on the grounds. The event will be outdoors at the historic slave quarters at Horton Grove. Attendees must walk less than one hundred yards over uneven grass or gravel to reach the reading site.
This free event will last about 1 hour, with the option to tour the original slave dwellings at Horton Grove available afterwards.
