As part of our local USA 250 event line-up, the Grayslake Heritage Center and Museum and the Grayslake Area Public Library have partnered to bring a powerful Pages of History lecture series to our community; the next one is inspired by "A Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass."

Author James Ciccone will share stories that explore the life of Amos "Doc" Bennett in Lake County. Bennet was one of the area's earliest pioneers and the first African American settler in Lake County. There is even a street named for him in Grayslake!

Learn how Bennett trailblazed a path alongside others like Douglass to create his own destiny on Tuesday, March 3rd at 7 pm at the library.
