- When
- 1841
- Where
- Nantucket
Douglass spoke at the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society's annual convention in Nantucket, a few days after first hearing Garrison speak in New Bedford in 1841.
A few days after Douglass first heard William Lloyd Garrison speak at Liberty Hall in New Bedford in 1841, Douglass spoke at the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society's annual convention in Nantucket. The supplied passages date the New Bedford lecture to 1841 and place the convention speech a few days later; they do not independently confirm a specific month or day for the convention itself. A legacy record gives August 11, 1841, but no supplied passage corroborates that date.
