250 is everywhere right now. The flags are out. The celebrations have commenced. But before we go any further — there's a question we have to ask. One Frederick Douglass asked in 1852, one day after an Independence Day celebration much like the ones happening right now. What does it mean to celebrate freedom in a nation that wasn't free for everyone? As this milestone year unfolds, we want to know what you're feeling. Pride, complication, both at once? Tell us in the comments — we're listening. This Friday, we share what Douglass said. March On! Festival · Sept 29–Oct 6, 2026 · marchonfest.org #Roadto250
