This wonderful tour and talk explores the newly opened exhibition of Douglass prints, photographs and ephemera at the Smithsonian Institution National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC. Guest curator Prof. John Stauffer (Harvard University) and National Portrait Gallery Senior Curator of Photographs Ann Shumard provide insight into the exhibition through a discussion moderated by Dr. Keidrick Roy (Dartmouth College)..
The Frederick Douglass Papers Project collects, edits, and publishes in books and online the speeches, letters, autobiographies, and other writings of Frederick Douglass. The project's primary aim has been to make Douglass’ surviving works accessible to a broad audience, and the effort celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. To mark the occasion, Ezra Greenspan of Southern Methodist University will moderate a discussion that includes insight into the project’s early years and current work on new print and digital editions. Participants include Larry Powell, Jeff Duvall, Jack Kaufmann-McKivigan, Sue Perdue, Caroline Dunham-Schroeter and Kristin Leary.
