<p><a href="https://www.nps.gov/frdo/learn/historyculture/frederickdouglass.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Frederick Douglass</a> (c. February 1818—February 20, 1895), one of the most brilliant orators of his generation, worked ceaselessly for the cause of abolition. Among his many achievements, Douglass became one of the early and important critical theorists of photography, a medium invented in 1839. In a series of lectures delivered between 1861-865, Douglass argued that photography had the power to shape people’s understandings of race and as such could be deployed to resist distorted representations of African Americans. Douglass, who was exceptionally aware of the power of his own image, sat for a number of portraits over several decades, circulating his image widely. His photographic portraits serve as the basis for a number of the works in this collection, including <a href="https://www.slaverymonuments.org/items/show/1193" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ivan Schwartz’s <em>Frederick Douglass</em></a>, created for the New York Historical Society.</p>

<p><em><strong>Bronze plaque on granite base:</strong> </em><br />Frederick Douglass<br /><br />Dedicated May 11, 2017, in proud recognition of the speech given at Hillsdale College by Frederick Douglass on January 11, 1863<br /><br />"Neither law, learning, nor religion, is addressed to any man’s color or race. Science, education, the Word of God, and all the virtues known among men, are recommended to us, not as races, but as men. We are not recommended to love or hate any particular variety of the human family more than any other. Not as Ethiopians; not as Caucasians; not as Mongolians; not as Afro-Americans, or Anglo-Americans, are we addressed, but as men. God and nature speak to our manhood, and to our manhood alone. Here all ideas of duty and moral obligation are predicated."<br /><br />—Blessing of Liberty and Education—September 3, 1894<br /><br />With Gratitude to Mr. James Nagy in Memory of his beloved Wanda Nagy<br /><br />Dr. & Mrs. Larry Arnn<br /><br />Bruce Wolfe—Sculptor</p>
