Frederick Douglass Program

Over the course of three mornings this week, over sixty 8th graders from Mt. Everett and W.E.B. Du Bois Middle School are gathering at the church to read together Frederick Douglass's 1852 famed speech “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July.” 

Popping in on Tuesday, Pastor Jill observed Aretha Whitehead skillfully draw out insights and relevance from these thoughtful young people that challenge and inspire us in a world still struggling with systemic racism.



The students then broke out into one of three stations - writing, performance art or visual art - to engage the themes. Paul Mulholland led the performance art, Aretha led the visual art, and Alycia Bacon through Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation led the writing station. A display of their works will appear in the Old Stone Store in the weeks to come. 

What a creative experiential morning of engaging history and current events at the same time.
