Abolitionists Panel Discussion

The Department of History and Anthropology and the Africana Studies Program are hosting the first event of the "Created Equal: America's Civil Rights Struggle" grant sponsored by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History.



On September 24, 2013, from 7:00 to 9:00 pm in the Nahm Auditorium (in the Morris Building on the main UCM campus) there will be a public event to view part of the PBS program Abolitionists followed by a panel discussion by members of the faculty. The faculty panel consists of: Dr. Jessica Cannon, Dr. Micah Alpaugh, Dr. Eric Tenbus, and Dr. Albion Mends. The panel will focus on the international context for American abolitionism.  We hope to see you at the event!

If you have questions about the event, please contact Dr. Delia Gillis, grant director, and the Department of History and Anthropology at 660-543-4404.  You can also find the official UCM press release here.
