SUMMARY:Welcome to the Terror Ship: Slavery and Resistance at Sea
DESCRIPTION:The Baton Foundation\, in partnership with the Auburn Avenue Research Library on African American Culture and History\, will host a lecture about the realities of the slave ship — its role in supporting the Transatlantic Slave Trade\, and as the incubator of Black resistance and culture. This program is free to the public\, but registration is required. \nAbout the Program\nDrawing on his book\, The Slave Ship: A Human History (Penguin Random House\, 2007)\, Professor Marcus Rediker will give a lecture that explores the Middle Passage as an engine of history — in forming the Atlantic plantation system\, the world market\, global capitalism\, and in creating traditions of resistance that would prove crucial to African American culture and politics. The slave ship was a site of violence and horror\, but no less a place of astonishing cultural creativity. PURCHASE BOOK HERE. \nAbout the Speaker\nMarcus Rediker is Distinguished Professor of Atlantic History at the University of Pittsburgh. His “histories from below” have won numerous awards\, including the George Washington Book Prize\, and have been translated into seventeen languages worldwide.  He is the author of The Slave Ship: A Human History (2007) and The Amistad Rebellion: An Atlantic Odyssey of Slavery and Freedom (2012)\, which was the basis for his prize-winning documentary film\, Ghosts of Amistad\, directed by Tony Buba.  He is currently working as guest curator in the JMW Turner Gallery at Tate Britain and writing a book about escaping slavery by sea in antebellum America. \nRegister Here for Zoom Lecture

SUMMARY:Frederick Douglass and the Emancipatory Power of Science
DESCRIPTION:The Baton Foundation\, in partnership with the Auburn Avenue Research Library on African American Culture and History\, will host a lecture about the emancipatory power of science. This program is free to the public\, but registration is required. \nAbout the Program\nFrederick Douglass is remembered as one of the greatest abolitionists and orators in American history. But his immense intellect—especially his deep engagement with science—is far less appreciated. In this lecture\, Professor Eric Herschthal discusses the subtle and profound ways Frederick Douglass engaged with scientific knowledge\, both critiquing the ways scientists used scientific ideas to oppress racial minorities\, while also arguing for science’s radical potential to liberate Black people and create a more just world. PURCHASE BOOK HERE. \nAbout the Speaker\nEric Herschthal is a professor of history at the University of Utah\, and the author of The Science of Abolition: How Slaveholders Became the Enemies of Progress (Yale University Press\, 2021). His writing has appeared in leading historical journals and his mainstream outlets such as The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, and The New Republic. He received his Ph.D. in history from Columbia University and his bachelor’s degree from Princeton University. \nRegister Here for Zoom Lecture
