About Us

Join us via Zoom to discuss Master Slave Husband Wife: An Epic Journey from Slavery to Freedom by Ilyon Woo. Winner of 2024 Pulitzer Prize for Biography, this is the remarkable true story of Ellen and William Craft, who escaped slavery in the South in the 1840s. Ellen disguised herself as a disabled white gentleman and William as her manservant, exploiting assumptions about race, class, and disability to hide in public on their journey to the North, where they became famous abolitionists. The book group typically meets the first Thursday of the month at 7 p.m. Contact Janet Edmond for more information and the link.
