Annual tradition, honest conversation.
Each July 4th I return to Frederick Douglass’ 1852 address to check the pulse of American freedom. In this replay runback I share a partial reading of the speech’s most searing passages—followed by my own reflections 
📤When have you felt both pride and discomfort on the 4th?
Share your story via voice note, DM, or tag @HighlyVisiblePod—I may feature your perspective in next year’s runback: <a href='https://form.smartsuite.com/sszxz4mn/sxwLOAg7ur'>https://form.smartsuite.com/sszxz4mn/sxwLOAg7ur</a>
