Program Description
Event Details
Frederick Douglass spent his life fighting for justice and equality. Born into slavery in 1818, he escaped as a young man and became a leading voice in the abolitionist movement. People everywhere still find inspiration today in his tireless struggle, brilliant words, and inclusive vision of humanity. Douglass’s legacy is preserved at Cedar Hill, where he lived his last 17 years, in Washington, D.C.
Join us for a talk from Park Ranger Kevin W. Bryant to learn more about Douglass, and how his home became part of the National Parks System.
