The Everett Public Libraries are excited to announce that on Wednesday, May 27th at 7:00 pm, Stephen Puleo, author of Dark Tide, is back to discuss his new book, The Great Abolitionist: Charles Sumner and the Fight for a More Perfect Union.
Before, during, and after the Civil War, Charles Sumner was the most influential politician fighting for abolition. Throughout Reconstruction, and till the day he died, he championed the rights of emancipated people, moving America toward the goals of abolitionism and equal rights. He laid the foundational arguments that civil rights advocates would build upon over the next century.
Please join us in the Parlin Memorial Library Meeting Room. If you have any questions, please email Kathleen, the Adult Services Librarian, at slipp@noblenet.org or call (617) 394-2300.
