The event is co-sponsored by Boston African American National Historic Site http://www.nps.gov/boaf .

"We are happy to once again partner with Labouré College to celebrate Black History Month by looking at the lives of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. Professor Stauffer is a longtime friend and partner of Boston African American National Historic Site. We are looking forward to his talk about the friendship that changed the course of history, and set our country on a new path to freedom," said Ryan McNabb, Park Ranger at Boston African American National Historic Site.
