Reading FREDERICK DOUGLASS Together Reimagined
The National Black Doll Museum invites you to a powerful community experience — *Frederick Douglass Reimagined* — a creative and thought-provoking public reading of Frederick Douglass’s iconic 1852 speech *“What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?”*
This year’s program goes beyond the page. Reimagined for the 21st century, the event incorporates live music, spoken word, youth performances, visual art, and community voices to explore what Douglass’s message means in today’s political and social climate.
✨ Highlights:
– Live reading of Douglass’s speech
– Performances by local youth, including 7-year-old Ms. Knova Brown
– Music, poetry, and artistic interpretations
– A visual exhibit of Frederick Douglass, the most photographed man of the 19th century
– A reflection on the question: *What would Douglass say today?*
