About the Program
Paul and Stephen Kendrick recount the relationship between Fredrick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. The authors present President Lincoln as a reluctant abolitionist whose three meetings with Douglass from 1863 to 1865 and further reading of Douglass' writings encouraged Lincoln to believe that the Civil War could not be won without emancipation. Paul and Stephen Kendrick discuss their book at the Multicultural Student Services Center at George Washington University in Washington, DC.
