GREENSBORO HISTORICAL SOCIETY PRESENTS: SELF-MADE MEN – A conversation with Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass

Caroline Event History

Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln are the two preeminent self-made men in American history. Lincoln was born dirt-poor and became one of the nation’s greatest presidents.

Douglass spent the first twenty years of his life as a slave and became the most famous black man in the Western world.

Although these two men did not always see eye-to-eye, their relationship with each other developed and changed over the years as did the country’s conflict over slavery abolition and emancipation.

Nathan M. Richardson as Fredrick Douglass Eric Richardson as Abraham Lincoln bring these two historical characters to life, capturing completely their physical and spiritual essence.

To experience this history, please join us on August 23, 2024, from 6pm-9pm.
