Visits UE Local
TAUNTON, Mass.
Dr. Charles Pace, scholar-activist-and cultural worker from
the University of Kentucky in Danville, Ky. came to southeastern Massachusetts
to perform his one-man show of Frederick Douglass, orator and abolitionist —
and former New Bedford shipyard worker. Dr. Pace brought his unique
performance to the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth, New Bedford
Whaling Museum, schools and two area workplaces. One of those workplaces was
the Haskon division of Burke Industries in Taunton. Here Dr. Pace as Frederick
Douglass speaks to a group of UE Local 204 members at Haskon during their
lunch hour. His presentation became front-page news the next day in the Taunton
Gazette.
