Lincoln, Douglass and the Fight for Freedom
February 10, 2027
Registration opens Fall 2026.
As politician and activist, Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass approached the crisis of slavery from different perspectives yet worked toward a common cause. Reflect on the “unfinished work” of democracy and the many ways individuals and communities shape civic life through action, advocacy and engagement.
This 60-minute program is recommended for grade 5 and up.
