186. Salem History: Sarah Parker Remond

The Remonds are by far one of Salem's most famous families. But it may be the youngest daughter, Sarah Parker Remond, who left the greatest impact. Following in her brother's footsteps, Sarah became an anti-slavery activist and lecturer. She toured the country, achieved international success, and earned advanced degrees, all at a time when women (specifically black women) were limited in public discourse. Join Sarah and Jeffrey, your favorite Salem tour guides, for look at the exhilarating life of this very special Salemite.
