Many thanks to Rabbi Peter Hyman and our intrepid Chesapeake Forum Board Member for promoting the upcoming David Blight program on Frederick Douglass... and Lifelong Learning. Rabbi's Roundtable is a regular production brought to the mid-shore by MCTV (Mid-Shore Public Television)
John Miller talks with the Talbot Spy about the upcoming Visiting Professor Lecture, "Frederick Douglass in His Time and Ours" with Professor David Blight from Yale.
Blight is a highly regarded expert on Frederick Douglass' life and times and was happy to accept the Chesapeake Forum's invitation to kick off our 2021 Semester with a special presentation in honor of our Founder, John Ford.
