In his fourth commission for Ford’s Theatre, playwright Richard Hellesen explores the two documented encounters between Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln during a period of national crises. During the summers of 1863 and 1864, Douglass challenged Lincoln to use his power as President to bring truth to America’s founding ideal that “all men are created equal.”
