How well do Americans really know Frederick Douglass?
Author Jack Hanrahan explores this question in his new book: Traveling Freedom’s Road: Frederick Douglass in Maryland. Join him for an engaging lecture that brings Douglass’s powerful story home to the Eastern Shore—with insights into over 50 Maryland and Baltimore locations connected to Douglass’s life.
Discover local landmarks you may pass every day, unaware of their historic connection to one of America’s greatest voices for justice. Hear excerpts from Douglass’s speeches, writings, and journalism—some read aloud by volunteers from the audience.
This is presented by the Talbot Historical Society in partnership with the Talbot County Free Library and will take place at the library located at 100 W. Dover St., Easton, MD 21601.
The lecture will be presented two times on May 1st: The first will be at 1pm and the second will be at 6pm.
The lecture is free to the public, but reservations are required.
