On this special holiday episode of Holding Court, our hosts take a break but leave us with some food for thought. They dive into the meaning of the 4th of July, discussing Frederick Douglass's powerful speech, "What to the Slave is the 4th of July?" They reflect on the hypocrisy of America's independence celebration while slavery persisted. They challenge listeners to hold the nation accountable and work towards true freedom and equality for all.
