In Progress

Notes, queries, and musings about my research on Frederick Douglass, Sally Hemings, and Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House series, among other things. This blog was formerly titled "Frederick Douglass: In Progress" and "Frederick Douglass's Women." Currently working on an introduction to Sally Hemings for undergraduates.

"The Untold Story of Anna Murray Douglass," BYU Radio, 28 March 2918

This was an interview with Julie Rose on her "Top of Mind" show on BYU radio, which we conducted back in March.
"The Untold Story of Anna Murray Douglass" Frederick Douglass, famous escaped slave turned abolitionist and orator, was the most photographed man of his time. He sat for more than 160 portraits that we know of, and yet, there are only two known pictures of his wife, Anna Murray Douglass. But don’t be fooled, says historian Leigh Fought. Anna Murray Douglass’s behind-the-scenes support helped make her husband the powerhouse he was.
