At 3:00 PM, a concert brings Douglass’ timeless speech, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?”, to life, featuring a live reading with moving string quartet interludes performed by Castle of our Skins’ String Quartet: Matthew Vera, Grant Houston, Ashleigh Gordon, and Francesca McNeeley, alongside youth readers.
