Sons & Daughters of ThunderPresenters: Kelly and Tammy Rundle, Documentarians and Filmmakers of Fourth Wall FilmsJoin us as award winning, Emmy-nominated filmmakers Kelly & Tammy Rundle of Fourth Wall Films present their film, Sons & Daughters of Thunder, based on the play by Earlene Hawley and Curtis Heeter. This film tells the unfor-gettable true story of the first-in-the-nation 1834 eman-cipation debates led by firebrand abolitionist Theodore Weld in Cincinnati, Ohio, and their effect on a young Harriet Beecher Stowe.

Discussing the abolition of slavery in 1834 was considered radical, even in the North. Organized by Weld, the nation’s first public debates at Lane Seminary in Cincinnati, Ohio led to near riot conditions in the city.

The shocking oratory sparked intense controversy and awakened a young Harriet Beecher Stowe to the horrors of slavery. Harriet was captivated by Weld’s charismatic leadership at a time when Calvin Stowe was trying to win her heart.

Inspired by Weld and the debates, Harriet later distilled her Cincinnati experiences into the world-wide best-selling novel “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”. This forgotten true story from award-winning filmmakers Kelly Rundle and Tammy Rundle was a prelude to America’s Civil War.Date: Thursday, Aug. 12Location: Quad City Botanical Center, 2525 4th Avenue, Rock Island, ILLunch: 11:30 a.m.Presentation: 12:15 p.m.Fee: $23 (Fee includes admission to the Botanical Center) Last day to register or receive a refund: July 28In-Person CRN 80646
