Frederick Douglass is an American icon - born into slavery, self-emancipated, becoming a world-renowned writer, orator, and civil rights advocate, and the most photographed man in America. Douglass wrote multiple memoirs over the course of his life, beginning with Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave. He used his powerful personal story to share the horrors of slavery with the wider American population and advance the cause of abolition, and toured the country to share his insights, including in Lexington. Join us in an interactive discusion with Dr. Kathleen Dalton, whose work with the Lexington Lyceum advocates brings Lexington's 19th century history and activism to life.
