Please save the date for Sunday, July 5 at 3 p.m. for Reading Frederick Douglass Together, a community gathering hosted by South Church in partnership with the Amherst DEI Department and Jones Library.
You can sign up here to read a paragraph from Douglass’s “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” speech. We’re seeking readers of all ages!
In addition to the reading, there will be an Amherst Area Gospel Choir performance, a panel discussion, free books, and refreshments!
This program is funded by a grant from Mass Humanities, which receives support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
