The Nabb Research Center honors Frederick Douglass

Continuing their celebration of Black History Month, the Nabb Research Center will honor Frederick Douglass on Tuesday February 21, 2012 with two special events.

First, there will be a discussion on the autobiography of Douglass at 3 p.m. at the Nabb Center Gallery. Leading the discussion will be Salisbury history professor Dr. Clara Small who will also speak of the life and times of Douglass as we honor one of the Eastern Shore’s most noble historical figures.

Later that day, there will be a performance by Master Motivational Story Speaker Bill Grimmette as he steps back in time as Douglass and will reenact his life. Grimmette has performed as Douglass at institutions like the Kennedy Center and the Smithsonian. This event will begin at 7 p.m. and will be at the Wicomico Room at the Guerrieri University Center.

Both events are free of charge and the public is invited to attend.
