Due to popular demand, we are offering a 2nd walking tour of the “Cork Abolitionists Trail” with Dr. Adrian Mulligan (The Globe Lane Initiative/#DouglassWeek). Starting point for the tour is the FREDERICK DOUGLASS MURAL ON GRAND PARADE STREET (outside Lloyd’s pharmacy).FREE, IN-PERSON EVENT. SIGN UP NECESSARY.The Cork Abolitionists Trail (CAT) is a legacy project of the highly successful #DouglassWeek and was launched in 2021. It continues to be developed by The Globe Lane Initiative and our partners at Cork City Council. As featured in the Irish Times, the trail illuminates some of the key locations where the former slave and American abolitionist Frederick Douglass delivered public lectures during his 1845 visit to the city. It also provides an insight into the rich history and geography of Corkonian abolitionism which would prove so consequential to achieving emancipation in the United States especially. While Frederick Douglass was the best-known abolitionist to visit Cork, he was part of a tradition involving many other abolitionists who made the journey before and after him. The Cork Abolitionists Trail, part of the Journeys for Freedom Project, highlights locations visited by these extraordinary women and men and amplifies their stories and those of the Irish people and organisations that inspired them.
