Tea with Frederick Douglass and A Life in Three Dresses: The Story of Elizabeth Keckley
Ebenezer Maxwell Mansion is proud to present the lives of two extraordinary African Americans of the Victorian age.
Tea with Frederick Douglass finds him trying out his famous speech “What to a Slave is the Fourth of July.”
A Life in Three Dresses tells the story of Elizabeth Keckley, born into slavery, whose brilliance saw her rise to the White House becoming the dressmaker and confidante to Mary Todd Lincoln.
Each play is about 35 minutes in length.
