</span>I'm looking forward to our meeting this coming Saturday at
USNH, 700 Hartford Turnpike in Hamden.<br>
<br>
What we will be hearing is not the full speech, but it will be a
good part of it. I think you will find the Ossie Davis performance
of the Frederick Douglass historic speech easy to follow and
compelling, and it will make for good discussion. <br>
<br>
You don't need to do any homework in advance, but if you're curious,
you may want to see the Wikipedia write-up at

</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="MsoHyperlink">and if you get
really ambitious, you may want to look at the annotated speech

<p>We will start with a potluck dinner at
1:30 pm, followed at 2:15 pm by
listening to the historic 1852 Frederick
Douglass speech that has come to be
known as "<em>What to the Slave Is the
Fourth of July?</em>" — as timely
today as it was then. We will hear a
performance by Ossie Davis which runs 25
minutes. This Frederick Douglass speech
has been delivered by a number of
well-known actors over the years, often
in abbreviated versions. The Ossie Davis
rendition is the full speech, and
perhaps the best of the performances.
Manny Ratafia will then moderate a
discussion.</p>
<p>Please bring a dish to share. Coffee
and tea will be provided. If you plan on
bringing a baked dessert such as cake,
pie or cookies, e-mail Manny Ratafia at
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="mailto:manny@ratafias.com">manny@ratafias.com</a>
to let him know what you will be
bringing. (In past similar events, there
were too many baked goods.)</p>
