Day 7, the final day of #DouglassWeek 2023, offered a mix of virtual and in-person events, bringing our week's celebration of Frederick Douglass's legacy to a close.

The day began with a "Musical Contribution from Barretstown in Kildare," a virtual event highlighting Irish connections created by our long-term contributors in Barretstown, Ireland.

In Rochester, the morning was dedicated to poignant remembrance and historical engagement at Douglass Family gravesite. This site is particularly significant as Frederick Douglass himself, along with some of his family members, including his wives and a daughter, are buried there. This was followed by a tour and talk offered by our friends from Mount Hope Cemetery, who gave further insights into the historical landscape of the cemetery.

A virtual live event from Cork, Ireland, the "Wild Ones Salon," with Joanna Dukkipati and Fahmeda Naheed, provided another international perspective.

Video footage from the day will be available HERE soon.
