What to the Slave is the Fourth of July? by Frederick Douglass

This is a SoundCraft Audiobooks production of one of the greatest speeches ever delivered.  In 1852, former slave and then-abolitionist leader Frederick Douglass was asked to address a Fourth of July audience that included the President of the United States and other Washington dignitaries in Rochester, New York.  The speech Douglass wrote and delivered at that celebration has since been hailed as one of the most powerful and moving orations in history.  Here, actor Amir Abdullah brings Douglass words to passionate life in this unforgettable and haunting recording.
