Where Frances Drake saw injustice, she tried to right it, and where freedom was denied, she fought to secure it. Mark C. Bodanza, author of "Resolve & Rescue: The True Story of Frances Drake and the Antislavery Movement," will explore the life of this incredible Massachusetts woman who took up the cause of the slave early in the anti-slavery movement. Learn how, in an age dominated by men, Drake never allowed the disadvantages suffered by her gender to impede the great object of her work -- the end of slavery in America. Bodanza is a historian and trial lawyer. He has published "Make It Count: The Story Of Basketball Legend JoJo White" and "Ten Times A Champion: The Story Of Basketball Legend Sam Jones." Q&A and book signing/selling after the talk for those interested. Sponsored by the Friends of the Library.
