SUMMARY:Author Talk with Mark Kurlansky: The Boston Way: Radicals Against Slavery & The Civil War
DESCRIPTION:Join the Sawyer Free Library for an afternoon with acclaimed author Mark Kurlansky as he discusses his latest book\, The Boston Way: Radicals Against Slavery & The Civil War.\n\nIn this powerful and thought-provoking work\, Kurlansky explores a lesser-known side of abolitionism the Boston pacifists who believed persuasion\, not violence\, was the only path to lasting freedom and justice. Through the lives of William Lloyd Garrison\, Frederick Douglass\, and other Black and white abolitionists\, Kurlansky examines how their moral courage and commitment to nonviolence shaped not only the fight against slavery\, but the broader pursuit of human rights that would influence thinkers from Leo Tolstoy to Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.\n\nCopies of The Boston Way will be available for purchase at the event courtesy of The Bookstore of Gloucester.
