Discussing The Great Abolitionist with Freshman U.S. History Classes at Everett (MA) High School
I had a great day at Everett High School (EHS) in Everett, MA discussing my book, The Great Abolitionist: Charles Sumner and the Fight for a More Perfect Union. I spoke to four freshman U.S. History classes about Sumner, the Civil War, and the use of primary sources.
My thanks to these students and to the teachers and staff who made the event possible. I’m shown in the group shot with (from left): history teachers Claude St. Jusle, Clarissa Thekcekava, and Dom Persuitte; History Department Director John Flannery, EHS Library Director Mary Puleo (no relation!) – who worked with me every step of the way to make this event a success – and freshman student Miguel Rudovanski Mariot Do Nascimento.
