Fighting Slavery in the United States
Osher Lifelong Learning Institute

This lecture series is a sequel to an earlier course covering an earlier period. This six-week course offers you the opportunity to meet a large and often unfamiliar cast of characters-both Black and white, enslaved and free-who developed a range of tools and tactics, means and methods, to escape enslavement or try to resist it, in the period between the drafting of the United States Constitution in 1787 and 1865, the year that marked the end of the Civil War.
