What’s Happening at The Pear…

Let's revisit the past. And learn from it.

The Agitators chronicles the enduring but tempestuous friendship of Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass. Great allies? Yes. And at times, great adversaries. They agitated the nation, they agitated each other, and, in doing so, they helped shape the Constitution and the course of American history. This is their story. More timely than ever.

“…a compelling portrait of two flawed but inspiring agents of change.” – Pioneer Press
