Help us transcribe the records of the Colored Conventions, the nineteenth century’s longest campaign for Black civil rights.
Douglass Day is an annual program that marks the birth of Frederick Douglass. Each year, the Colored Conventions Project has gathered thousands of people to help create new & freely available resources for learning about Black history. Douglass Day has frequently focused on important Black women’s archives, such as Anna Julia Cooper (2020), Mary Church Terrell (2021), and plenty more to come in future years.
Join us on Monday, February 14 from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. for a community transcription event to celebrate the birth of Frederick Douglass.
