10:00 am: Sunday Service: Not Just Another Woman Behind the Scenes


April 14, 2024

Not Just Another Woman Behind the Scenes: The Helpmeet Lessons of Anna Murray Douglass

tonya thames-taylor.

In-person & Live-stream.

The illiteracy of abolitionist Anna Murray Douglass is weaponized against her. She proved to be a savvy small business owner and was instrumental in sustaining the career of social reformer Frederick Douglass, her husband of 44 years.  How do we tell the story of the unsung and not tell a hero’s narrative? What can such a life tell us about fostering space when resources are limited, obstacles are formidable, and the end result does not include fanfare or understanding of one’s work?

In April 2022, Dr. tonya thames taylor, an Associate Professor of American History, was recognized as one of West Chester University's 150 Most Influential Women. At WCU, she is the founding director of the African American Studies program, interim director of Rustin Urban Community Change AxiS (RUCCAS), and a member of the Frederick Douglass Institute (FDI)'s Executive Board. She serves on several boards including People's Hall and Kennett Underground Railroad Center (KURC). She is member of Fallowfield Friends Meeting (Quakers) in Coatesville.
