Hi Cindy,
Thanks for your email. Yes, she is familiar with Douglass' famous
speech. She is interested in the Antebellum period in South Carolina
(if possible). Thanks!
Best wishes,
Jeff

Subject: Re: [MUSEUM-L] July 4th Question
I don't have an answer to your specific question, but I hope your
colleague is familiar with Frederick Douglass' famous speech "What, to
the American Slave, Is Your Fourth of July."
I also wonder if your colleague might get better responses if you
specify a time period. I am guessing you are referring to a time period
after America's independence, when the 4th was celebrated as a holiday.

Hi all,
I'm assisting a colleague with a research question and I wanted to see
if any of you have any documentation. Could any of please provide
documentation of what slaves were doing during the 4th of July in the
south? I look forward to your replies. Many thanks!
Best wishes,
Jeff
