Wesleyan Wednesday
February 10, 2021 at 12 p.m. EST.
Register today to hear from Dr. Craig Wansink, Professor of Religious Studies and Joan P. and Macon F. Brock, Jr. Director of the Robert Nusbaum Center.

During Black History month, we take a quick look at three 19th century examples for us--Sojourner Truth, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Emma Lazarus—and how their spiritualism, atheism, and Judaism brought them to defy racism in the United States. How did they inspire and lead, within their limited sphere of influence, and how might their example shape us?
