On Saturday, July 3, 28 readers at Exeter Town Hall performed 54 paragraphs of the famous speech What to the American Slave is Your Fourth of July? by Frederick Douglass, first read in Rochester, New York in 1852.
The message of Douglass s lengthy speech questions the celebration of Independence Day, when slaves in the United States were not free. Your high independence only reveals the immeasurable distance between us, Douglass told the crowd at the Corinthian Hall in Rochester on July 5, 1852. The blessings in which you, this day, rejoice, are not enjoyed in common. The rich inheritance of justice, liberty, prosperity and independence, bequeathed by your fathers, is shared by you, not by me. The sunlight that brought light and healing to you, has brought stripes and death to me. This Fourth July is yours, not mine. You may rejoice, I must mourn.”

While the Fourth of July has become synonymous with fireworks and cookouts, several local towns maintain an annual tradition that harkens back to the holiday’s origins, with a reading of the Declaration of Independence. This year, those traditions return with in-person readings, after some were put on hold last year due to COVID-19.
Each July 4, at the Jaffrey Meetinghouse, citizens sign up to read from the Declaration. The tradition was begun 21 years ago by citizen Rob Stephenson, and each year, a line of people signs up for the opportunity to read a line. Last year, a recorded version of the reading was produced, due to COVID-19 restrictions. This year, it’s back on at its usual location.
