A Conversation With Peter Almond and David Blight

August 4, 2020 By henry

 

David W. Blight wrote “Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom.” The 2018 biography of African-American abolitionist Frederick Douglass won him the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for History. This is a discussion on The Practice of History in a time of disruption over public health, race and change. Blight and Almond reflect on the complexities of inter-racial communication (privilege guilt, etc.), monuments, memorials and all.
