Frederick Douglass (1818-1895) was born into slavery in rural Maryland. After escaping slavery at age seventeen, he became a national leader of the abolitionist movement. He also played a role at the women’s rights convention in 1848. In his autobiography, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, Douglass considers the process of thinking of oneself as human. Learning to read and write he considered essential to this process.
Ministry DescriptionThe goal of this lively discussion group is to engage the intellect and imagination through shared inquiry about provocative literature. The Great Books Foundation in Chicago compiles the selections. Challenge and broaden your thinking as the group probes deeply into characters and ideas. Members are required to read the selections prior to the meetings and come prepared to answer interpretive questions. The Great Books Discussion Group meets from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month between September and May.
