Frederick Douglass Day Transcription Event

Join local historians, students, teachers, and history enthusiasts as we participate in a national online crowd-sourcing transcription project to honor Frederick Douglass on his birthday. There will be history, music, readings, fun, and even cake! This year’s event features the Frederick Douglass Papers: General Correspondence, 1841 to 1912, in the collection of the Library of Congress. The event is free and open to all, but we ask that you please register. No experience is necessary.

This event is co-sponsored by the Lexington Lyceum Advocates, the Association of Black Citizens of Lexington (ABCL), the Lexington Historical Society, the Lexington High School Social Studies Department, and the Lexington Youth Steam Team.
