REVOLUTIONARY LIBERATOR: Anna Murray Douglass’s Life and Legacy
Celeste-Marie Bernier | 11:00 am – 12:00 pm | Tuesday, March 25 | Free to all
Abolitionist and Underground Railroad activist Anna Murray Douglass is often overshadowed by her famous husband Frederick Douglass. Rarely studied by historians or mentioned by biographers (including in her own husband’s narratives), Anna Douglass nevertheless casts a long and historic shadow of her own.
Celeste-Marie Bernier chairs the U.S. and Atlantic Studies program at the University of Edinburgh. She is one of the foremost authorities on Anna Murray Douglass, having authored books such as If I Survive: Frederick Douglass and Family in the Walter O. Evans Collection.
