The Frederick Douglass Bicentennial was founded by a passionate scholar and educator dedicated to preserving and promoting the legacy of Frederick Douglass. The founding director brings decades of experience in history, civil rights education, and community organizing.
The director's vision for the Bicentennial extends beyond commemorating a historical figure. It aims to use Douglass's example as a catalyst for contemporary discussions about freedom, justice, and the responsibilities of citizenship in a democratic society.
Under the director's guidance, the Bicentennial has organized meet-ups, educational programs, and community events that bring Douglass's words and ideas to new audiences. The project emphasizes participatory learning and community-driven programming.
