Sarah Parker Remond – A Feminist Abolitionist in Ireland [Christine Kinealy, Rebecca Abbott Media] Hosted by Ireland’s Great Hunger Institute, Quinnipiac University, 7pm GMT, 2pm EST

 Sarah Parker Remond – A Feminist Abolitionist  in Ireland tells the story of her visit to Ireland in 1859 to win support for anti-slavery, even as her own country was hurtling towards a bloody civil war. She followed her brother, fellow abolitionist Charles Lenox Remond, who lectured in Ireland on the eve of the Great Famine. A life-long friend of Frederick Douglass, Sarah made her own unique contribution to abolition on both sides of the Atlantic.
