Everybody read, translated and discussed a few of his quotes. New club-members told some facts about themselves and shared their experience of learning English.
Roland Clemenceau prepared a well-grounded report on the topic Slavery, serfdom and The abolition of slavery in the US. The report was about the history of slavery in the world and in the USA.
