What to the Modern Black American is the 4th of July? NotYourMommasHistory 2020-06-29 | On July 4th, 2017 McKnight collaborated with two fashion-focused creative agencies Fashioning the Self in Slavery and Freedom (Jonathan Square) and The Common Thread Project (Mikaila Brown) to ponder the question, "What to a slave is the 4th of July?” Frederick Douglass famously asked the question in an untitled speech delivered on July 5, 1852. Though slavery as a formal institution ended well over a century ago, Douglass’s question is just as relevant today as it was in the nineteenth century. We as citizens of the United States grapple with the legacy of slavery on a daily basis as forms of coerced labor still exist and the consequences of enslavement are still palpable through continued racial inequality. This is especially true in New York City, a city whose foundation was laid on the backs of enslaved Africans and their descendants. McKnight took to the streets of lower Manhattan on July 4th, 2017 dressed as an enslaved woman, holding a placard reading Douglass’s famous quote. Passersbys were invited to contemplate the enduring legacy of slavery, using Frederick Douglass’s famous inquiry as a point of departure. youtube.com/channel/UC0OLMJfoz0Dr5ggfFHsjsKATo support my work please become a patron on Patreon. patreon.com/NotYourMommasHistoryWebsite- NotYourMommasHistory.comFacebook- facebook.com/pages/Not-Your-Mommas-History/300919986774827Twitter- @MommasHistoryInstagram- NotYourMommasHistory

I hope to do all this with the patronage of those who support my work?There are many different levels of patronage from $1 to $600 a month, and as a thank you for your patronage I offer rewards at each tier.If you are unable to become a patreon at this point remember that support comes in many different ways.

Contraband Camp at Harpers Ferry NotYourMommasHistory 2016-09-20 | This past weekend the Sons and Daughters of Ham portrayed contraband at Harpers Ferry.
