Created Equal Screening and Discussion: 'The Abolitionists'

The first of four screenings and discussions in the Created Equal: America’s Civil Rights Struggle series, The Abolitionists interweaves historical dramatization with traditional documentary.

Following the screening, Prithi Kanakamedala, Project Historian for Brooklyn Abolitionists/In Pursuit of Freedom, and Manisha Sinha, Professor of Afro-American Studies at UMass Amherst, lead the discussion.

Created Equal: America’s Civil Rights Struggle is made possible through a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, as part of its Bridging Cultures initiative, in partnership with the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History.
