SUMMARY:ABHM Book Club: Great Speeches By Frederick Douglass
DESCRIPTION:As a part of our Civic Season programming, the ABHM Book Club will be discussing Great Speeches By Frederick Douglass on June 26th at 6 PM via Zoom.\nAuthor, abolitionist, political activist, and philosopher, Frederick Douglass was a pivotal figure in the decades of struggle leading up to the Civil War and the Reconstruction era. This inexpensive compilation of his speeches adds vital detail to the portrait of a great historical figure.\nFeatured addresses include “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” which was delivered on July 5, 1852, more than ten years before the Emancipation Proclamation. “Had I the ability, and could reach the nation’s ear, I would, today, pour out a fiery stream of biting ridicule, blasting reproach, withering sarcasm, and stern rebuke,” Douglass assured his listeners, “For it is not light that is needed, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake.” Other eloquent and dramatic orations include “Self-Made Men,” first delivered in 1859, which defines the principles behind individual success, and “The Church and Prejudice,” delivered at the Plymouth County Anti-Slavery Society in 1841.\nREGISTER HERE\n
