WE CAN SEE THE TWO THOREAUS ON TWO FOURTH of Julys.
On July 4, 1854, Thoreau joined abolitionists Sojourner Truth and William Lloyd Garrison for a rally to protest slavery in Framingham, Massachusetts. This is the rally where Thoreau stood under a black-draped American flag hung upside down and where Garrison burned copies of the Fugitive Slave Act and the US Constitution.
On the same day, nine years earlier, Thoreau had celebrated his independence by moving to his cabin on Walden Pond.
