Strike For Freedom: Frederick Douglass in Scotland tours Scotland

After the successful launch of Strike For Freedom: Frederick Douglass in Scotland we enjoyed a tour of screenings across Scotland. It was screened alongside the US Drama Harriet at Eden Court Theatre as part of the Inverness Film Festival. Parisa was invited to introduce the film, explain how the film came about and explained the very close activist links between Douglass, his wife Anna Murray and Harriet Tubman which many viewers were grateful to hear. The DCA in Dundee also screened the film alongside Harriet. We also had standalone screenings where Parisa Urquhart and Prof Bernier gave talks at the CCA in Glasgow, Robert Burns Birthplace Museum in Ayr, Aberdeen Library and Dumbarton Library. It’s really important to bring this history to the people of Scotland!
