Nathan Richardson delivers a remarkable portrayal of former slave, writer, orator, and abolitionist Frederick Douglass. Placing a strong emphasis on the importance of reading and writing, Mr. Douglass speaks of the need for students to learn history and develop a strong sense of civic responsibility. After he recites an excerpt from his most famous speech—What to the Slave is the Fourth of July—Mr. Douglass spends time with the audience in an unscripted question-and-answer session.This is a free, family-friendly performance. Thanks to the Virginia African American Cultural Center, Virginia Commission for the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Arts for underwriting this program.
