A free screening of 3rd Strike Entertainment's filmed monologue featuring the words of Frederick Douglass, followed by a conversation with filmmakers Keith and Paul Hoult
In 1845 Frederick Douglass, who seven years earlier had escaped slavery in Maryland, wrote his first autobiography, The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, at his new home in Lynn, Massachusetts. Frederick Douglass - My Path to Freedom is a monologue where Frederick (portrayed by actor Devanie Lothian) narrates his story using his own words and recalls key scenes in his young life that helped shape the man he became.
