In this episode, we are thinking historically with Kevin Bryant, Park Ranger with the National Park Service at the Frederick Douglass National Historic Site in Washington, D.C. Bryant helps us think historically about Frederick Douglass, his love and use of portraits, and his Washington, D.C. house, now a national historic site. The conversation explores the many ways in which Douglass saw portraits as opportunity to emphasize his humanity in the fight to end slavery and bring more racial equality.Thinking Historically About brings history to life.
