Volume 2 of the monumental Embattled Lawrence series is finally arriving soon (release date TBD). Local historian Dennis Domer has enlisted dozens of local writers, historians, and experts to complete this long-awaited second volume in what Domer calls "the only summary of the history of Lawrence published in the last three decades." It's a perfect gift for the Kansas history buff in your life.
The Enduring Struggle for Freedom (volume 2 of the Embattled Lawrence Series), published by the Watkins Museum of History, contains 38 articles, poems, and paintings, as well as over 300 photos about Lawrence history.
These contributions are divided into six categories: Anti-Slavery, Struggles for Freedom, Haskell Indian Nations University, Tumultuous Years, Toward Equal Rights for All, and Governing a Diverse City.
