Frederick Douglas Reading: What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?

Come to join the Sharon Historical Society in the annual community reading of noted abolitionist Frederick Douglas's iconic speech about the contrasts between the principles stated in the Declaration of  Independence and the position and legal treatment of slaves in the United States prior to the Civil War.   Sharon citizen's will read portions of his speech, which this year, will occur on the same day of the year on which he first delivered it.   The event will be indoors, to guard against excessive heat.   Light refreshments will be served.
