The Friends of the University City Public Library present an evening with Sydney Norton, author of Fighting for a Free Missouri: German Immigrants, African Americans, and the Issue of Slavery. This event is intended for adults, but free and open to all.
Norton, an independent scholar, translator, and educator in St. Louis, is the editor and a contributing writer to this collection of ten original essays. She will discuss the story of nineteenth-century German immigrant abolitionists who are often neglected in discussions of Missouri and St. Louis history. These immigrants, many of whom were highly educated and devoted to the ideals of freedom and democracy, fled political persecution in the 1830-40s in their homeland. Settling in Missouri, a pre–Civil War slave state, many of them became abolitionist activists and fervent supporters of Abraham Lincoln and the Union in the emerging Civil War.
Refreshments and a book signing will take place after the presentation.
Join us for a lively discussion with local author Thomas Eyssell who will discuss his new book, The Automobile in St. Louis: An Illustrated Timeline. Learn about everything from horseless carriages to luxury vehicles and how St. Louis contributed to modern transit. Auditorium. All ages.
