September 17, 2024
Noon to 1:30 p.m.
Academy Art Museum (106 South Street, Easton, Maryland)
Our Journey to Liberty and Freedom
1776 – 1876 – Today
The Mid-Shore Constitution Alliance will host “Our Journey to Liberty and Freedom,” their annual celebration of Constitution Day and Citizenship Week on Tuesday, September 17. Renowned actors Darius Wallace as Frederick Douglas and Kurt Smith as Thomas Jefferson will be featured, performing a conversation between the two. The event will be held from 12-1:30PM at the Academy Art Museum in Easton. Admission is free.
In addition to the reenactors, the event will include the Sons of the American Revolution in period costumes for the color guard, a town crier to announce the Signing of the Constitution and a welcome from State Senator Johnny Mautz. There will be educational exhibits, constitution giveaways and red, white & blue Rita’s Ice. The event “Proclamation” will include a “Welcome” to new U.S. Citizens in Talbot County who have achieved citizenship credentials.
Wallace has performed in Easton several times at both Constitution Day events and events hosted by Operation Frederick Douglass on the Hill and The Bailey-Groce Family Foundation. He performs across the country and has made appearances at the National Archives, in Law & Order, and in various movies. Actor Kurt Smith performs reenactments at Colonial Williamsburg.
The event is sponsored by Easton Utilities, Talbot Tourism/Economic Development, The Tidewater Inn, Shore United Bank, Holiday Inn Express and Bridges Land Management. Along with Constitution Day celebrations, the Constitution Alliance is working to develop educational programming to increase Constitutional IQ for students of all ages. The Constitution Alliance Fund awards annual $1000 higher education scholarships to deserving Mid-Shore students who are interested in careers that require an oath to the Constitution. The Mid-Shore Constitution Alliance, in partnership with the Washington College Institute for Religion, Politics & Culture and Operation Frederick Douglass on the Hill, works to promote civic engagement through education and a commitment to uphold constitutional values and the founding principles of freedom.
