Historian Erica Armstrong Dunbar Gives 2018 John Jay Iselin Memorial Lecture
Erica Armstrong Dunbar,
the Charles and Mary Beard Professor of History at Rutgers University, presents a discussion based on her book, Never Caught: The Washingtons' Relentless Pursuit of Their Runaway Slave, Ona Judge. How does pursuing truth in history inform our future? Dunbar's eye-opening narrative about a courageous black woman who risked her life for freedom sheds new light on our reckoning of a flawed nation, then and now. She will be in conversation with CBS Sunday Morning Contributor Nancy Giles as part of the 2018 John Jay Iselin Memorial Lecture.
This event is part of a
week-long series
of events focused on the theme of TRUTH.
The event is free and open to the public. General public should reserve a space
here
. Please note first come, first seated; an RSVP does not guarantee admission as we generally overbook to ensure a full house.
