THE FIRE OF FREDERICK DOUGLASS

A Lecture with Dr. Richard Bell

Frederick Douglass was a visionary—a prophet who could see a better future that lay just beyond reach. His talents were nothing short of extraordinary and he put his exceptional gifts to use in the service of freedom, driving American slavery into the grave.

The Athens Chautauqua Society is proud to present a virtual lecture with Dr. Richard Bell, Professor of History at the University of Maryland.

Over the course of his lecture, Dr. Bell will help us explore the many-sides of Frederick Douglass' life, family, and career, and consider his impact upon our modern struggle to advance the cause of black freedom in the United States.

Join us THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26th from 2:30 -4:00 PM, EST for Dr. Bell's virtual lecture, The Fire of Frederick Douglass.
