The Friends Historical Association is hosting a free talk with scholar Marcus Rediker about his new book “Freedom Ship: The Uncharted History of Escaping Slavery by Sea.”
This year’s event will feature a talk given by Marcus Rediker on his new book, Freedom Ship: The Uncharted History of Escaping Slavery by Sea. Rediker is a distinguished professor of Atlantic History at the University of Pittsburgh. His already-acclaimed work, published earlier this year, documents ‘hidden waterfront networks and battle zones within the fight against slavery.’
