Our 8th annual Sally Lanagan Lecture will feature gifted storyteller and bestselling historian H. W. Brands speaking on his new book, The Zealot and the Emancipator, recounting the epic struggle over slavery as embodied by John Brown and Abraham Lincoln—two men moved to radically different acts to confront our nation’s gravest sin.

Please note that this forum is virtual.

Donations are encouraged to support the Concord Museum’s Education initiatives.

The Zealot and the Emancipator is available through the Concord Bookshop!

This program is supported by the Sally Lanagan Fund and is co-sponsored by The Robbins House.
