July 4 Community Celebration
Join us for a family-friendly July 4 celebration inspired by 6000+ Declarations of Independence, an America250CT project exploring how Black abolitionists declared their own freedom through storytelling, art, and activism.
Throughout the day, visitors are invited to experience history through live interpretation, creative workshops, and community gathering—reflecting on the many ways freedom has been imagined, claimed, and expressed.
What to Expect:
- Live interpreters portraying Frederick Douglass, Harriet Jacobs, and Josiah Henson
- Comic book workshop with artist Joe Young
- Kemet character appearance
- Readings of freedom narratives and declarations of independence
- Outdoor programming on the Stowe Center grounds (weather permitting)
Families and visitors of all ages are welcome.
