Day 5 of Douglass Week 2023 offered a blend of in-person and virtual events, focusing on various aspects of Frederick Douglass's life and legacy, as well as broader themes of anti-slavery and freedom.

The day included two video releases early on: "Frederick Douglass and Newcastle Upon Tyne" and an "Anti-Slavery Virtual Belfast Tour," highlighting Douglass's international connections and the global fight against slavery.

For those in Rochester, our in-person activities were prominent. The "Underground Railroad Story Hour @ Rochester Museum & Science Center" engaged attendees with historical narratives, followed by a "Guided Tour of the Flight to Freedom Exhibit," offering a deeper dive into the local history of the Underground Railroad.

The program also featured another of our Douglass Dialogues events: “The Douglass Grandchildren", providing a unique perspective on Douglass's enduring influence through his descendants. The day concluded with an in-person event in Rochester, "Frederick Douglass and Pan-Africanism," exploring his significant contributions to this important movement.

Video footage from the day will be available soon HERE.
