In light of New-York Historical’s Our Composite Nation exhibit, award-winning author David W. Blight and renowned scholar Eddie S. Glaude Jr. bring to life one of Frederick Douglass’s most poetic speeches, “Our Composite Nationality.” Douglass’s optimism for a nation so deeply rooted in equality that it could expand democratic values to other nations was especially compelling post Civil War. Join us for an evening of conversation about what unity means today and where we stand as a country in relation to the legacy of Douglass’s words.
