Short history of freedom to be at Buckley
Herald Staff ReportLinda Schott, who coordinated the event and is the dean of the arts, humanities and social sciences at Fort Lewis College, said the common themes are freedom and independence.
"But I've included some documents from folks who were partly or completely denied freedom and independence as well as documents that celebrate those values," she said.
Here is a schedule of the documents and the readers:
•Letters between John and Abigail Adams, written just before the drafting of the Declaration of Independence. To be read by Maureen Brandon and Steve Roderick.
•The Declaration of Independence, to be read by Dennis and Anna Johnson.
•August 1776 speech by Samuel Adams, to be read by Gary Linn.
•Thomas Jefferson's first Inaugural Address, to be read by Richard Sax.
•Letters by John Ross on Cherokee Indian removal, to be read by Pete McCormick.
•Frederick Douglass' 1841 Independence Day speech, to be read by Steve Roderick.
•Susan B. Anthony's speech on being convicted for illegally voting, to be read by Kathryn Moller or Amy Sellin.
•Martin Luther King's 1964 Nobel Prize acceptance speech, to be read by Yvonne Bilinski.
