Location:
Atchison Public Library, 401 Kansas Ave, Atchison
(view on google maps)
From the TALK series, Before the Civil War
Discussion Leader: Deborah Peterson
Peterson gives us Brown in his day, yet shows how the abolitionist's image, celebrated in art, literature, and journalism, has shed the infamy conferred by "Bleeding Kansas," becoming a symbol of American idealism to activists along the political spectrum.
