"The Matter of Black Lives: Writing the Biography of Frederick Douglass
and His
Family"
by Ezra Greenspan

What is family?  How does it lend itself to the writing of biography? What particular challenges does the writing of family biography present when the family is African American? These are some of the core questions that underlie this talk, which explores the life stories of various members of the Bailey-Douglass family.
