EASTON, MARYLAND — On Saturday, Sept. 26, 2026, from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m., Talbot County Free Library’s Easton branch hosts author Damon Root for “A Glorious Liberty: Frederick Douglass and the Fight for an Antislavery Constitution” in the Meeting Room at 100 West Dover Street.

The library calendar places the talk among 2026 Frederick Douglass Day celebrations and identifies Root as a senior editor at Reason and author of the 2020 book of the same title. The listing also notes his other books, including Overruled and Emancipation War. Branch phone: (410) 822-1626.

Douglass’s constitutional fight was never soft history. This program puts that argument back on a Mid-Shore calendar with a named book and a named hour.
