Find out more with this presentation about Abby Kelley Foster, acted by Lynne McKenney Lydick. "This event today is the best re-enactment program to come to the library!" Abby Kelley (1811-1887), radical abolitionist, women’s and human rights activist, dedicated her life to social justice, working relentlessly to end both race and gender prejudice. At a time, when society demanded that women be silent, submissive, and obedient, Abby was none of these.
