Reading Frederick Douglass Together
Co-hosted with Courageous Conversations Towards Racial Justice, this outdoor tented event will begin with live classical music and light refreshments, followed by a short excerpt from the play, “This Is Not a Bill,” by Boston playwright Alexia Rowe. The play tells the story of an enslaved couple escaping from the South along the Underground Railroad during the threat of the Fugitive Slave Act.
The community reading will begin at 7:00 pm with volunteers taking turns reading individual paragraphs from Douglass’s speech. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to participate. Sign up to participate on the Forbes House Museum's "Events" webpage.
This program is made possible by a grant from Mass Humanities, which provided funding through the Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC).
