Reading Frederick Douglass Together

June 11 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

Lowell Community Charter Public School (LCCPS) will host “Reading Frederick Douglass Together” on June 11, 2026 in The Luna Theater.

In recognition of Juneteenth, this event will feature students, staff, and members of the greater Lowell community reading Frederick Douglass’ speech, “What to the Slave is the 4th of July?”

The project scholar, Dr. Robert Forrant, Professor of History at UMass Lowell, will open the program and lead a discussion after the reading designed to engage the audience in considering the historical and contemporary context of Douglass’ speech and its enduring relevance.
