Douglass & O'Connell: Two Men Yearn for Freedom

Explore the historic meeting between Daniel O’Connell—viewed by many Catholics in Ireland as their emancipator—and author, speaker, and newly escaped slave, Frederick Douglass. The mutual admiration and support of the venerable statesman and the courageous young visionary is a powerful example of Race Amity, the “other tradition.”
