Friends of the Harriet Beecher Stowe House, a Cincinnati-based nonprofit founded in 2006, helped fund the production. The organization encompasses ideas of abolition, as well as civil rights and women’s rights. Friends of the Harriet Beecher Stowe House accomplishes this through tours of the house in Cincinnati, lectures, discussions, and educational outreach programs for the community, teachers and students.
