This article features a reading of Frederick Douglass's 1852 speech 'What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?' delivered by James Earl Jones.

The piece highlights the historical context of Douglass's role in the abolitionist movement and his critique of the nation's founding ideals. It is presented as part of a broader educational effort to examine America's history through the lens of marginalized voices.
