Frederick Douglass
Frederick Douglass rose from slavery and became one of the most influential voices of the nineteenth century. He was self-educated and self-emancipated. He was one of the most photographed Americans of his era. Douglass' image and his words were used to challenge the conscience of a nation.
The play will highlight how Frederick Douglass reshaped the way Americans understood race, democracy and the meaning of freedom.
A fierce critic of false religion, he called for a faith rooted in justice, equality and dignity of every human.
