Happy #DouglassWeek 2024, everyone!

We are thrilled to welcome you to this year’s event series in Belfast, Northern Ireland, with additional events in Cork, Ireland, Rochester, NY, USA and online around the globe. Throughout the week, we aim to highlight the legacy of Frederick Douglass, the Douglass family and other changemakers, and also to discuss the many contemporary, related topics that relate to Frederick Douglass and the impact of his life and work on issues such as identity, race and equal rights. As always, the themes of connectivity, co-creation and collaboration remain central to our programming and activities.
