In his speech "What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?", Frederick Douglass addresses the counterclaim that the celebration of Independence Day is a universal symbol of freedom and justice. He argues that for enslaved people, the holiday serves as a painful reminder of their oppression and the hypocrisy of a nation that celebrates liberty while perpetuating slavery. Douglass emphasizes that the ideals of freedom and equality are not extended to African Americans, highlighting the stark contrast between the celebration of independence and the reality of slavery.
