'Without question, the most important liberation movement in American history — from Jacksonian democracy to gay rights — was the long struggle against slavery,' wrote the New York Times.
'Abolition established the principles and rhetoric, while setting the strategies and tactics, that have guided all subsequent reform movements.'
Come hear Manisha Sinha discuss her highly acclaimed new book, The Slave’s Cause: A History of Abolition at the Museum of African American History, Boston Campus.
Her book looks beyond the well-known stories of white abolitionists in America, and focusses on a more transnational view of the abolition movement.
Book signing and reception follow.
