3 Weeks to #DW2025

The countdown is on — we’re just three weeks away from #DouglassWeek 2025! From Massachusetts to Ireland and beyond, this year’s celebration is going to be so exciting!

For one incredible week, communities around the world will come together to honor the life and legacy of Frederick Douglass — the writer, abolitionist, orator and visionary whose impact continues to shape our conversations on freedom, justice and equality today.

What to Expect

This year’s program is filled with:

• Powerful conversations featuring leading voices in history, culture and activism

• Inspiring performances from artists and creatives who carry Douglass’s spirit into the present

• Community celebrations that bring people together across borders to reflect, learn and build connections

Whether you join us in person in Massachusetts, tune in virtually or participate from anywhere in the world, there will be countless opportunities to connect, engage and celebrate.

The Full Program Drops This Week

We’ll be unveiling the full lineup of events in just a few days — so stay tuned! Make sure you’re following along, tell a friend and mark your calendar.

This isn’t just a commemoration; it’s a living tradition. Together, we’ll carry forward Douglass’s vision of justice, empowerment and unity. Join us Sept 28 - Oct 4, 2025!
