The Great Abolitionist: Charles Sumner & the Fight for a More Perfect Union In-Person
In the tempestuous mid-19th century, slavery consumed Congressional debate, civil war was looming, and the very survival of the country was at stake. In Congress, the voice of Massachusetts senator Charles Sumner rang strongest, bravest, and most unwavering in the fight for abolition and civil rights. Join nationally acclaimed author Stephen Puleo (The Caning, American Treasures, Dark Tide) to learn more about this forgotten hero who laid the cornerstone arguments that civil rights advocates would build upon for the next 100 years as the country strove to build equality between the races.
