DESCRIPTION:Learn the incredible story of a forgotten 19th century hero: a former slave 
 who became a Yale scholar, minister, and an international leader of the 
 Antebellum abolitionist movement. James Pennington, 19 years old and 
 illiterate, escaped from slavery in 1827 and soon became a leading voice 
 against slavery. Pennington traveled widely in Britain and Europe to gain 
 support for the American abolition movement, and wrote the first-ever 
 "History of the Colored People" plus a careful study of the moral basis for 
 civil disobedience, which was echoed decades later by Gandhi and Martin 
 Luther King Jr.\n \nScholar and local author Christopher Webber will read 
 from his biography, "American to the Backbone: the Life of James W.C. 
 Pennington." Copies will be available for purchase & autographing.\n
