A Better, Superior Speech on July 4th

Donald J Trump’s speech on July 3, 2020, reveals, exemplifies the moral apathy, the death of the heart of many in these United States. A better speech that preserves a history that continues to live and call for moral courage and action is here cited. 

Five young descendants of Frederick Douglass read and respond to excerpts of his famous speech, "What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?" — which asks all of us to consider America's long history of denying equal rights to Black Americans.
