SUMMARY:Lunchtime Lecture: Finding Anna Murray Douglass with Dr. Celeste M. Bernier and Dr. Bill E. Lawson
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, September 9\n11 AM–12:30 PM\nReception Hall \nLunchtime Lecture: Finding Anna Murray Douglass with Dr. Celeste-Marie Bernier and Dr. Bill E. Lawson\nCAM Members: $35 | Not Yet Members: $45\nAdmission includes lunch by CAM Café. \nJoin CAM for a special lunchtime lecture with scholars Dr. Celeste-Marie Bernier and Dr. Bill E. Lawson as they bring the remarkable life and legacy of Anna Murray Douglass to the forefront. \nDrawing on more than one hundred surviving letters\, essays\, speeches\, biographies\, and memorials\, Douglass Family Lives: The Anna Murray and Frederick Douglass Family Biography and Collected Works reveals Anna Murray Douglass as far more than the wife of Frederick Douglass. She was his co-revolutionary and a freedom fighter in her own right. \nBernier and Lawson will explore the complexities of Anna’s life and her critical role in the struggle for freedom\, highlighting her often-overlooked contributions as an educator\, activist\, intellectual\, political thinker\, artist\, philosopher\, and strategist. Throughout their lives\, Anna and Frederick worked side by side to advance the causes of liberation and equality. \nThe Douglass Family Lives series also illuminates the lives and work of the wider Douglass family\, including their children Rosetta\, Lewis Henry\, Frederick Jr.\, Charles Remond\, and Annie\, each of whom carried forward the family’s legacy of courage and activism. \nAdmission includes lunch by CAM Café featuring a selection of handcrafted sandwiches\, house chips\, fresh fruit\, and warm cookies for dessert. \nRegistration \nAbout Dr. Celeste-Marie Bernier\nCeleste-Marie Bernier\, PhD\, is Professor of United States and Atlantic Studies at the University of Edinburgh.

She lives in Carlisle\, UK. \nAbout Dr. Bill E. Lawson\nBill E. Lawson is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy Emeritus at the University of Memphis.
