SUMMARY:Douglass Day
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Douglass Day!\nA day of love & collective action for Black history!\nEvery Valentine’s Day, we invite you to a birthday party for Frederick Douglass. Although Douglass never knew his birthdate, he chose to celebrate every year on February 14th. We celebrate this date as a moment for creating Black history together.\nDouglass 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 ( https://douglassday.org/history-of-douglass-day/ ).\nDouglass Day 2025 will take many forms — in-person, online, or hybrid! We are delighted to present Douglass Day featuring new offerings posted by the Library of Congress and their By The People ( https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiyuuW-_96AAxUYFFkFHcTZCtcQFnoECBAQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcrowd.loc.gov%2F&usg=AOvVaw1pwzJa8Kl-kkKKLb66DVb6&opi=89978449 ) crowdsourcing platform.
