Come hear students share their research:

• Why did Philadelphia’s mayor, a Penn alum, allow a white mob to destroy a brand-new building dedicated to abolitionist reform in 1838?
• Why did a Quaker abolitionist provide the illustrations for craniologist Samuel G. Morton’s Crania Americana (1839)?
• How did Penn’s medical graduates use the bodies of free Black and enslaved women to expand and perfect their surgical techniques?
• Why should every Penn student and faculty member know the real-life identity of Dr. Flint in Harriet Jacobs’s Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl?
