The doors will open at 5:30pm.
The film is a feature length documentary that looks at the growth of abolitionism in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. By looking at events and discussions that were happening at the Lane Seminary in the Walnut Hills neighborhood of Cincinnati, and on the streets of Augusta, KY and other river communities in the 1800s, the film helps put contemporary discussions on race and equality into perspective. A short discussion and Q&A will follow the screening.
Free admission, but guests are encouraged to RSVP.
They can email Dr. Davd Childs at childsd1@nku.edu to register for now.
