Duke Common Experience Book Club featuring 'Never Caught' by Erica Armstrong Dunbar

Join fellow Duke alumni and current parents to discuss Duke's Common Experience summer reading book for 2026, 'Never Caught' by Erica Armstrong Dunbar.
The selection of “Never Caught” as the university’s common reading experience is in concert with the university’s We the People initiative, marking the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Dunbar’s historical biography chronicles the compelling story of Ona Judge, an enslaved woman who escaped from the household of George and Martha Washington. The powerful volume was a finalist for the 2017 National Book Award for Non-Fiction and received the 2018 Frederick Douglass Book Award.
Dunbar, with rigorous research and fascinating storytelling, shines a light on an American infancy tainted by slavery, and human beings’ quest for freedom.
