À propos de ce contenu audio

As the Union League prepared to move into its clubhouse at 140 South Broad Street in 1864, it temporarily expanded across Chestnut and Market Streets, using Concert Hall and National Hall to host major public meetings during the war. Most notably, a July 1864 rally featuring Frederick Douglass called Black men to enlist in the Union Army, marking a powerful and unprecedented moment in Philadelphia when men and women, Black and white, gathered together in support of freedom and citizenship.
