Seward House Museum Lunchtime Lecture: “A Man on Fire”

The Lunchtime Lecture Series continues with LeMoyne College Professor of History Doug Egerton. Before he was rivals with Abraham Lincoln, in the 1850s Senator William Seward found himself challenged by an abolitionist upstart from New England named Thomas Wentworth Higginson. Egerton will bring the stories of their friction to life in this discussion of his new biography of Higginson, A Man on Fire.

This event will take place at the Equal Rights Heritage Center and is FREE and open to the public.
