What does a 21st century abolitionist Maine look like? Freedom & Captivity invited Mainers to suggest words that capture their vision of abolition. Over a hundred participants, from South Penobscot to York, from Wilton to Herman, responded. The ABCs of Abolition (9min) showcases their words and interpretations, offering a hopeful and compelling portrait of the way Maine could be. Join us in imagining a different, and better, future.

The ABCs of Abolition was filmed and produced by Catherine Besteman, Lorne Carter, and Reagan Dennis for Freedom & Captivity.
