Something Learned That I Forgot To Post

Frederick Douglass was in Pendleton, Indiana. For those who do not know who Frederick Douglas was, click on this link.

Frederick Douglass Returns to Pendleton:

Frederick Douglass and other abolitionists visited Pendleton, Indiana, in 1843 and were attacked by a mob. Local Quakers helped to rescue them, and the following day, Douglass spoke at the Quaker meeting house. To commemorate these historic events, reenactor Darius Wallace will deliver a presentation at the same place where Douglass spoke, in the present-day meeting house. 

The program happens at Fall Creek Meeting House, 1794 W. State Road 38, Pendleton, IN 46064, on May 15 from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. EDT.
