The public reading of the 1852 Frederick Douglass speech “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” has become an excellent tradition in Natick (see our coverage from 2022). You can sign up to take part in the reading, which takes place 10-11am on June 19 in front of the Morse Institute Library at 14 E. Central St.
Historian and Natick resident Brenna Greer will offer an introduction to the speech and facilitate dialogue afterwards. Coffee and snacks will be served.
The reading will be filmed by Natick Pegasus. This event is free and open to the public. Please bring your own chair or blanket. (Bathrooms at the Morse Institute Library will not be open.)
Please send news tips, photos, ideas to natickreport@gmail.com
