On July 3rd the annual Frederick Douglass Speech Reading event returned. This year is the first time that North Shore Juneteenth Association took over the event, and it was moved to the new Frederick Douglass Park in Central Square. The event had many speeches and performances before the community was invited to read, in parts, Douglass’ speech “What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?”.
