of cases of water, the Middle School

Friends’ Central’s
2012 Distinguished
Humanities Lecture
Friends’ Central’s 2012 Distinguished Humanities
Lecturer Dan Biddle ’71, along with co-author
Murray Dubin, came to campus to discuss
their book, Tasting Freedom: Octavius Catto and
the Battle for Equality in Civil War America, a
perfect compliment to Friends’ Central’s yearlong
celebration of the sesquicentennial of the
Emancipation Proclamation. Octavius Catto led the
Civil Rights Movement in Philadelphia in the 1860s.
