5 Aesop s Fables Aesop s Fables are a collection of stories written to illustrate a moral. Many of these stories feature characters, such as animals, in order to appeal to children while remaining entertaining for all ages. In The Agitators, Frederick Douglass comments, I am partial to Aesop and his fables because Aesop forces us to think about our own, twisting, changing, selfish nature. Similar to Frederick Douglass, Aesop also was a slave (but in ancient Greece). Aesop s storytelling has been passed down through oral traditions to modern interpretations, as we now know them. These fables illustrate morals such as slow and steady wins the race from Aesop s well-known fable, The Tortoise and the Hare. Listen for the fables Frederick and Susan share throughout The Agitators. Do you have a favorite fable that resonates with you or in your life? The Quakers Susan B. Anthony mentions her Quaker roots several times in The Agitators. The Quaker movement traces back to England in mid 1600s. Presently, there are over 340,000 Quakers worldwide. The term first came as a nickname, referencing how members shook during worship. Though there are different traditions of Quakers, there are 4 shared theological ideas: A direct inward encounter with God, remaining vote-less (stemming from a belief that government is corrupt, and voting supports corruption), spiritual equality for everyone, and an aspiration for peace rather than condoning war or violence. To fully achieve status as a Quaker, it was necessary to go through convincement: a six-stage process beginning with a breaking-in of God s power and ending with the final step of desiring to help others who have not gone through their own transformation. Unlike many religions, leadership among Quakers is informal and there is no spiritual hierarchy. Similar to Susan B. Anthony s father, many Quakers became safe houses for slaves escaping through the Underground Railroad. The Alligator Purse Figure 1: Susan B. Anthony's famous alligator purse Susan B. Anthony s alligator purse was more than a fashion symbol. Although Anthony had a flare for fashion, she was also demonstrating the right of women to have their own financial independence. An excerpt from her diary reads: Woman must have a purse of her own, and how can this be so long as the wife is denied the right to her individual and joint earnings. Reflections like these caused me to see and really feel that there was no true freedom for woman without the possession of all her property rights.
6 Peach Cobbler Susan and Frederick share peach cobbler in the first scene of The Agitators. Here is a peach cobbler recipe from The Kentucky Housewife by Lettice Bryan, circa Perhaps Susan s recipe was similar! A peach potpie, or cobbler, as it is often termed, should be made of clingstone peaches that are very ripe, and then pared and sliced from the stones. Rub the bottom and sides of a porridgepot, or small oven, with butter, and then with dry flour. Roll out some pieces of plain or standing paste (pastry) about half an inch thick, line the sides of the pot or oven with the pieces of paste, letting them nearly touch in the bottom. Put in the prepared peaches, sprinkle on a large handful of brown sugar, pour in plenty of water to cook the peaches without burning them, though there should be but very little liquor or syrup when the pie is done. Put a paste over the top, and bake it with moderate heat, raising the lid occasionally, to see how it is baking. When the crust is brown, and the peaches very soft, invert the crust on a large dish, put the peaches evenly on, and grate loaf sugar thickly over it. Eat it warm or cold. Although it is not a fashionable pie for company, it is very excellent for family use, with cold sweet milk. Other Images of Interest Figure 1: Frederick Douglass through the years

12 Lynette Yiadom-Boakye The oil paintings of Lynette Yiadom-Boakye inspired director Logan Vaughn, as well as elements of the physical design of The Agitators. To see more of Lynette s work, visit to view some of her paintings, her biography, and a video of her speaking at one of her gallery exhibitions. After you see The Agitators, reflect back on Lynette s pieces in the link above. Were you able to recognize either elements of the production values or moments in the play that felt similar to or inspired by Lynette s aesthetic? Figure 11: Lynette Yiadom-Boakye in her studio and at a gallery exhibition of her work Discussion Prompt Much of the disagreement between Anthony and Douglass stemmed from the Fifteenth Amendment ( the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude ). In The Agitators, Douglass advocated for black men to get the right to vote as soon as possible, and then shifting focus unto the cause of women s suffrage, because he believed some progress was better than no progress, and he did not believe the Amendment would pass at all if gender was added to the wording. Anthony passionately fought for universal suffrage for black men, and women, all at once in the Fifteenth Amendment and believed that fighting for anything less was sacrificing values. Consider some of the issues that affect our society today, or issues for which you are an advocate for change. Realistically, do you believe that these goals can be achieved all at once? Do you believe that taking the advances where and when they can happen and achieving the goal piece-by-piece is necessary to make progress? Or is it sacrificing ideals?
