Join us at the historic African Meeting House for And Freedom’s Reign, an immersive event honoring the words, legacy, and enduring spirit of Frederick Douglass.

Beginning at 2:00PM, enjoy a pre-concert reception featuring light refreshments and a reflective writing activity. Guests are also invited to explore the museum through a guided tour offered from 2:15–2:45 PM.

At 3:00 PM, the concert begins—a moving 75 minute program (no intermission) that brings Douglass’ iconic speech, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?”, to life through a compelling live reading by DeShaun Gordon-King, interwoven with moving musical selections performed by Castle of our Skins’ String Quartet.

Presented in partnership with the Museum of African American History, with support from Mass Humanities through the Massachusetts Cultural Council.

Come experience an afternoon where history, music, and reflection meet. Reserve your spot today!
