Yes it was covered in his presentation how Benjamin Franklin initially owned slaves but his views changed significantly later on & by the 1780s was a vocal abolitionist advocating for the end of slavery & the slave trade, writing a famous public address condemning slavery & urging Congress to act👍
Thanks for sharing this freakin’ adorable photo. Amazing costume and dedication to capturing the essence of Benjamin Franklin. I hope he had fun with his presentation!
The hair is too long and elaborate… but otherwise, that’s pretty freaking accurate!

Seriously, y’all definitely did an *excellent* job with that costume!
This is so hilarious and really -- how funny that men wore stocking and shorts or puffy panties for hundreds of years. How did they make those? .... and he's so proud and confident. Adorable.
