David Blight’s Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of Frederick Douglass has been called the definitive, dramatic biography of the most important African American of the nineteenth century: the escaped slave who became the greatest orator of his day, one of the leading abolitionists and writers of the period, and one of the most famous men of the 19th century. Please join this special evening with Prof. David Blight of Yale University and founding Innermost House Advisor, Prof. John Stauffer of Harvard University, as they discuss the inspiring life of Frederick Douglass HERE. (originally broadcast on May 15, 2019).
