Frederick Douglass Historic Speech

The annual July 4 reading of a Frederick Douglass speech at Inkwell Beach in Oak Bluffs will take place online this year, with participants sending their segments in advance by video.

Renaissance House, the organizers, are asking readers to send in home videos of themselves reading portions of the speech. They will then take those videos and knit them together to be shown on MVTV, YouTube and other outlets.

Those interested in taking part in this year’s reading are asked to email Renaissancehse@aol.com for instructions.
