"The Abolitionists" on PBS

[Linda Anderson]

The abolitionists were quite a radical force in the first half of the 19th century ( I would have liked to have watched this. but I work afternoons and do not have the ability to record programs). I wonder though if any of them had the mindset of what we would consider 20th century civil rights supporters.

You can find the program on the PBS website. Try this link. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
