Frederick Douglass Day
Celebrate Frederick Douglass Day
About Douglass Day 2022
Every Valentine’s Day, we invite you to a birthday party for Frederick Douglass. Although Douglass never knew his birthdate, he chose to celebrate every year on February 14th. We celebrate this date as a moment for creating Black history together.
Featuring the Colored Conventions Project
Help us transcribe the records of the Colored Conventions, the nineteenth century’s longest campaign for Black civil rights. Together we can learn about the long history of Black activism — including the important roles of Black women in the conventions!
Including…
- Transcribe-a-thon with the Colored Conventions Project
- Live broadcast with speakers, performances & more
- Curriculum for K-12 classes
- Lots more!
