On Day 6, a delegation of our #DouglassWeek team went to Dublin for a Frederick Douglass event, while others hosted a variety of online events. We were also able to explore beautiful Belfast on foot some more!

• A conversation with Joanna Dukkipati, Founder of Good Day Cork and Co-Founder of Think-Speak-Do Community Events, who talked about her motivations, her work with Good Day Cork and her approach to empowering and connecting people. Watch HERE.

• A conversation between Prof Danjuma Gibson (Calvin Theological Seminary), Prof Jack Kaufman-McKivigan (Indiana University-Perdue University-Indianapolis) and Heather L. Kaufman (Institute of American Thought at IUPUI) as they explored a psychoanalytic perspective and approach to Douglass's life, experiences and legacy. They also tackled questions about the complexities of trauma and enslavement, agency and identity, in the past and the present! Watch HERE.

• A conversation between Prof Ezra Greenspan (Southern Methodist University) and Prof Jack Kaufman-McKivigan (Indiana University-Perdue University-Indianapolis) about Greenspan’s research and forthcoming book The Bailey Family. Watch HERE.
