4th of July and African-Americans
The United States of America celebrates its 236th birthday this year. Its unlikely beginning as a rebellious breakaway from England is often cited as an early indicator of its future success. A Black man delivered one of the most incisive speeches ever given about the nation’s birthday. Frederick Douglass stood before a crowd in Rochester, New York in 1852 and posed this question: “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” More than 150 years later, actor Antonio Fargas recreates Mr. Douglass’ historical address.
