Discussion and reflection between Globe Lane Initiative Board members Douglass descendant Kenneth B. Morris, Jr. (great-great-great grandson of Frederick Douglass, Co-Founder and President of Frederick Douglass Family Initiatives (FDFI)) and Douglass family historian and writer, Professor Celeste-Marie Bernier (Professor of United States and Atlantic Studies and Personal Chair in English Literature at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland).
This is the fourth Douglass Dialogues conversation in a series featuring Douglass descendants responding to facts and stories revealed through Bernier’s extensive research into the lives of the Douglass family. Bernier’s tireless work has led to astonishing revelations about the “freedom fighting collective” that was - and is - the Douglass family. Anna Murray Douglass was the central and unifying figure and an equal partner to her husband, and their five extraordinary children shared the work that their descendants continue today. Join us for a moving and revealing conversation about these revolutionary figures and their lives dedicated to social justice activism, political radicalism and equal human rights.
