The Agitators

The second installment in our Revolutionary Voices reading series, celebrating the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

The Agitators by Mat Smart crackles with urgency, bringing to life the fierce, decades-long friendship between Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass. From modest abolitionist beginnings, through the Civil War, to the highest halls of government, this gripping two-character drama explores activism, allyship, and the cost of fighting for change when progress demands impossible choices.
