    Robert Morris was the nation’s second African American lawyer. An activist for civil rights and abolition, he risked his own freedom to aid fugitives from slavery. He advocated for integrated schools, advancing legal arguments that anticipated the Supreme Court’s decision in Brown v. Board. His personal library lives at Boston College, and his books have been an important pathway through which to explore his career and personal life. The presenters look forward to sharing the highlights of Morris's biography and his collection, as well as their experiences building a website to share his story and with the ongoing detective work to identify more of his books.  

    TARGET AUDIENCE:

    Librarians and all curious minds with an interest in civil rights history, legal history, rare books, technology, outreach, or diversity, equity, and inclusion.

    TAKEAWAYS:
