Frederick Douglass had nothing but scorn for July Fourth. The Black abolitionist spoke for the enslaved. Gillian Brockell © Samuel J. Miller/Art Institute of Chicago Frederick Douglass circa 1852, when he was in his mid-30s. “The papers and placards say that I am to deliver a 4th [of] July oration.” So began Frederick Douglass on the platform of Corinthian Hall in Rochester, N.Y. It was a Monday, the day after the Fourth of July in 1852, and he was speaking to a packed room of 500 to 600 people hosted by the Rochester Ladies’ Anti-Slavery Society. Douglass was about 35 years old (he never knew his actual birth date) and had escaped enslavement in Maryland 14 years earlier.
