Many found freedom through these legal actions and were defended by unlikely lawyers to include Francis Scott Key. A relevant and timely story that reveals the healing power of justice that transcends from the past to the present day. Thomas is the John and Catherine Angle Chair in the Humanities and Professor of History at the University of Nebraska. A webinar is part of Sotterley’s Common Ground Initiative: Transcending Barriers Toward Healing\, and Sotterley’s 14th Annual Speaker Series. \nFREE WEBINAR for the public – Advance registration required.  \nThis year’s speaker series will be offered virtually.
