Join us for film and discussion on "The Abolitionists." A small group of reformers in the 1830s launched one of the most ambitious social movements imaginable: the immediate emancipation of millions of enslaved African Americans.
Discussion Leader: Babette Faehmel, Assistant Professor, Schenectady County Community College.
The Created Equal: America's Civil Rights Struggle series is made possible with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History.
