SUMMARY:Stolen: Five Free Boys Kidnapped into Slavery and Their Astonishing Odyssey Home - Virtual Program
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Richard Bell to discuss his new book\, Stolen\, a gripping and true story about five boys who were kidnapped in the North and smuggled into slavery in the Deep South—and their daring attempt to escape and bring their captors to justice\, reminiscent of Twelve Years a Slave and Never Caught. \nTheir ordeal—an odyssey that takes them from the Philadelphia waterfront\, the Eastern Shore and  to the marshes of Mississippi —shines a glaring spotlight on the Reverse Underground Railroad\, a black market network of human traffickers and slave traders who stole away thousands of legally free African Americans from their families in order to fuel slavery’s rapid expansion in the decades before the Civil War.  \nRichard Bell is Professor of History at the University of Maryland and author of the new book Stolen: Five Free Boys Kidnapped into Slavery and their Astonishing Odyssey Home which is shortlisted for the George Washington Prize and the Harriet Tubman Prize. He has held major research fellowships at Yale\, Cambridge\, and the Library of Congress and is the recipient of the National Endowment of the Humanities Public Scholar award. He serves as a Trustee of the Maryland Center for History and Culture\, as an elected member of the Colonial Society of Massachusetts\, and as a fellow of the Royal Historical Society. \nCost: Free \nClick Here to Register for this Virtual Event.  \nBooks can be purchase online Here or a signed copy from the author is available upon request.
