Frederick Douglass was invited to give a keynote oration on the Independence Day Celebration on July 5, 1852, by the Rochester Ladies’ Anti-Slavery Society. President Millard Fillmore and 600 others listened intently to Douglass as he paid tribute to the founders of the United States while contrasting the hypocrisy of the present leadership where slavery and oppression were tolerated.
The audience within Corinthian Hall was enthusiastic, voting to unanimously endorse the speech at its end.
The Rochester Ladies' Anti-Slavery Society thought slavery "was an evil that ought not to exist, and was a violation of the inalienable rights of man." They were steadfast in refusing any partisan political alignment, hoping to broaden their appeal across partisan lines. Although Rochester was widely known as the home of Frederick Douglass' Paper, at the time, Douglass was "the only anti-slavery instrumentality in the community." The Rochester Ladies were anxious to increase the support for their anti-slavery movement.
