Thomas Jefferson lost the fight to include strong anti-slavery language in the U.S. Constitution, so it was up to social reformers and the politicians in power almost a century later to tackle the problem. The Abolitionists — the documentary screens at the Way Library on Thursday, January 17 — chronicles the fiery fringe movement that swept through our nation, following the relentless campaigning of Fredrick Douglass, William Lloyd Garrison, Harriet Beecher Stowe, John Brown and Angelina Grimke, and how it helped create equality. Free. 10:30am, with discussion following the film. Way Library, 101 E. Indiana Ave., Perrysburg. 419-874-3135 x102. www.waylibrary.info
