ROCHESTER, N.Y. — A new initiative, The “Frederick Douglass Family Initiatives,” aims to honor the life and legacy of Frederick Douglass in Rochester.
The “Frederick Douglass Family Initiatives” has signed a memorandum of understanding with the city to explore the development of a cultural corridor on Andrews Street along the Genesee River.
This proposed project is less than a mile from where Douglass published his abolitionist newspaper, The North Star. It envisions a museum, cultural center and public park dedicated to celebrating Douglass, who called Rochester home for 25 years.
“This partnership with the City of Rochester represents an important step toward creating a space that honors my ancestor’s enduring legacy in a city that was at the forefront of America’s reform movements,” said Kenneth B. Morris, Jr., Founder and President of FDFI and a direct descendant of Frederick Douglass.
Morris said that this will create a new dynamic place that will celebrate “Rochester’s unique role in shaping our nation’s history while inspiring future generations.”
