A Date With History: Joe Koper
October 28, 2022 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm
“A Date with History” Lecture Series Presents:
“The Isaiah Fountain Case”
by Joe Koper
Our Date with History Speaker Series will feature Joseph Koper. Joe will be speaking about his new book, “The Isaiah Fountain Case: Outrage and Jim Crow Justice on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.” He will focus on an account of a sensational rape case that convulsed Talbot County and made national headlines early in the 20th century. The story of Isaiah Fountain is told through court documents and hundreds of contemporaneous newspaper articles. The case documents dubious investigative and judicial actions and raises questions about Isaiah Fountain’s guilt and the Jim Crow legal system that convicted him.
