Inheriting the Legacy and Vision of Frederick Douglass

Biola faculty will join Ruth Naomi Floyd, an artist and educator whose new body of compositions, Frederick Douglass Jazzworks, musically considers the speeches and writings of the nineteenth-century abolitionist, orator, writer and statesman. Faculty from the Humanities and Social Sciences will join Ms. Floyd to consider together ways that Douglass's voice continues to guide and challenge both the church and the university in their relationships to the progress of human liberty.
