✚ Tasting Freedom by James Friel

The civil rights movement did not begin with Martin and Malcolm; it began in mid-19th century Philadelphia with a group of relatively unknown African-Americans led by “the forgotten hero,” Octavius Catto (pictured). Authors Murray Dubin and Dan Biddle, who recently released the book, Tasting Freedom: Octavius Catto and the Battle for Equality in Civil War America, will lead a reading at Musehouse, the city’s newest center for literary arts.

Sat., Feb. 25, 7 p.m., Musehouse, 7924 Germantown Ave., 215-331-9552, musehousecenter.com.
