Episode #24
In this powerful episode of the Creating America Podcast , host Will Sarris presents a reading of the full text of Frederick Douglass’s landmark 1852 speech, “What to the Slave Is the 4th of July?” As the United States reflects on the ideals of independence, liberty, and justice—especially in the context of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence—this episode confronts a difficult but essential question: what did American freedom mean to those who were still enslaved? Frederick Douglass, born into slavery and later becoming one of America’s most influential abolitionists, delivers a searing critique of American hypocrisy, slavery, and inequality. However he houses this critique within a very rousing and passionate defense of the ideals of the founders. This episode preserves the full text of his speech, which is quite the journey from the highs of patriotic sentiment, to the lows of the evils of slavery, and back toward a fuller ideal of "all men are created equal". Creating America is a documentary-style podcast that reads and explores foundational speeches and documents in U.S. history—ranging from inspiring declarations to challenging and uncomfortable truths. Hosted and narrated by actor and voice professional Will Sarris, the show aims to make historical texts accessible, engaging, and impactful for modern listeners.

Episode #22
In this episode of Creating America , we read two foundational items (a speech and a document) that stand at the origins of the American women's rights movement. both from the historic 1848 Seneca Falls Convention. First, hear Elizabeth Cady Stanton's powerful keynote address calling for equal rights, political representation, and women's suffrage. Then, listen to the full text of the Declaration of Sentiments, the groundbreaking manifesto modeled after the Declaration of Independence that proclaimed that "all men and women are created equal." The Seneca Falls Convention marked a turning point in American history, launching a movement that would eventually secure women's voting rights and reshape the nation's understanding of liberty, equality, and citizenship.
