Discover the extraordinary life and enduring legacy of Alexander von Humboldt, the visionary explorer, scientist, humanitarian, and namesake of Buffalo NY’s Humboldt Parkway. In this one-hour lecture, you will encounter a man whose curiosity carried him across continents and whose ideas transformed the world’s understanding of nature, climate, and the interconnectedness of life.
Humboldt was also a passionate and lifelong abolitionist who condemned slavery as “the greatest evil that ever afflicted humanity,” rejected the notion that race was a biological category, and declared in his masterwork, Cosmos, that “all are alike designed for freedom.” Far ahead of his time, his outspoken opposition to slavery, colonialism, and human exploitation was as courageous as it was groundbreaking.
