SUMMARY:Inheriting Freedom: An Intergenerational Tour
DESCRIPTION:One tour\, two stories! Come learn about the Black abolitionist Frederick Douglass and the white anti-slavery author Harriet Beecher Stowe. We’ll explore their stories from the time they were young children until they became famous authors\, paying special attention to the importance of love\, family\, and education in their lives. Did you know that Frederick Douglass taught himself to read and write in secret as a child? Or that Douglass was aided in his extraordinary escape to freedom by his wife-to-be\, Anna Murray? Did you know that Harriet Beecher Stowe’s famous work of anti-slavery fiction\, Uncle Tom’s Cabin\, was directly inspired by Frederick Douglass and other Black activists of the 19th century? Our interactive\, conversation-based tour is designed to explore some of the hardest moments in U.S. history in an empowering\, age-appropriate way. Step back in time with us\, touch and hold historical objects and documents that help this history come alive\, and join in a conversation about how all of us have the power to create change. \n [Designed to be enjoyed by visitors ages 6 and above.]
