Professor David Reynolds crafts a sympathetic portrait of Brown, a controvesial figure in American history. Reynolds argues that Brown, as a believer of racial equality, was a ?Puritan Warrior,? whose personal crusade to the death transcended the culture of his time, and inspired later movements for human rights. Reynolds is Distinguished Professor of English and American Studies, The Graduate Center and Baruch College, CUNY. His previous book, Walt Whitman?s America, won the Bancroft Prize and the Ambassador Book Award. Program starts at 6:30 pm and admission is $12 for adults and $6 for members, educators, students, and seniors.
