Everyone is invited to see at The Mary L. Cook Public Library:

A Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History Exhibit

Free at Last:
A History of the Abolition of Slavery in America

"Free at Last: A History of the Abolition of Slavery in America" traces the history of the movement to abolish slavery from the framing of the Constitution to its abolition during the Civil War. It illuminates shades of opinion within the ranks of the famous and ordinary, free and slave, men and women to come to see slavery as incompatible with the ideals upon which the nation was founded.
