What is Douglass Day?
From Douglass Day: Douglass Day is an annual program that marks the birth of Frederick Douglass. Each year, we gather thousands of people to help create new & freely available resources for learning about Black history. We frequently focus on important Black women’s archives, such as Anna Julia Cooper (2020), Mary Church Terrell (2021), Mary Ann Shadd Cary (2023) and plenty more to come in future years. Learn more about the history of Douglass Day.

Frederick Douglass, the renowned abolitionist and civil rights leader, celebrated his birthday on February 14th each year, despite not knowing his exact date of birth. This date has become a moment for the community to come together and create Black history.
