Destiny Abercrumbie: 2023 Junior Fellows Program Display Day

About

2023 Junior Fellow Destiny Abercrumbie worked with the Office of Communications to create a visual presentation mapping out the writings on the Opinions of the early Presidents, and of the fathers of the Republic, upon slavery and upon African Americans as men and soldiers from the Daniel A.P. Murray Pamphlet Collection. Daniel Alexander Payne Murray worked for the Library of Congress for 52 years and served as the 2nd African American to become an assistant librarian. He gathered books and pamphlets that show the progress of African American culture and history that formed what is today known as the Rare Books & Special Collections Division and the Daniel A.P. Murray Pamphlet Collection. Out of this collection, 184 pamphlets focused on the abolition movement and slavery. The purpose of this project is to highlight the thoughts of the early Presidents - opinions on the practice of slavery, the use of all justifiable endeavors to loosen the bonds of slavery, and to promote a general agreement of the blessings of freedom.
