Kina Thorpe, Program Coordinator, and Kyle Silliman-Smith, Program Director, invite the Peace and Justice Center's 2019 Ed Everts Social Justice Activist Award recipient Sarah Brown, from Loving Day Vermont, to talk about her activist work and excitement for the award celebration. Peace Activist Robin Lloyd is also a recipient of the award, but she was unable to be here for the show.
The Burlington Peace & Justice Center presents a Participatory Reading of Frederick Douglass’ “The Meaning of the 4th of July for the Negro" on the 163rd anniversary (July 5, 1852) at Burlington City Hall. As a community event, they invite you to reconsider the meaning of freedom and racial justice through a historical lens as we celebrate our nation’s Independence Day. Copies of the speech will be provided and audience members are encouraged to partake in the shared reading of this influential speech.
