The transcription process was an eye-opening experience. This collection is amazingly comprehensive.
Very proud to have contributed to its access in a small way.
Thank you #DouglassDay for coordinating this program

25c US postage stamp depicts an engraving, inked in rose pink, of an older Douglass, in profile, with thick white hair and white beard, wearing a suit and bow tie.
OTD 1967, the Frederick Douglass stamp was issued as part of the Prominent Americans stamp series.
Like many people born into enslavement, Douglass didn’t know his actual birthday, which was very difficult for him, and later in his life he chose February 14th to celebrate his birth.

We are SO grateful for the work of @sifill.bsky.social. Thank you for joining #DouglassDay this year! The 14th amendment is the heart of our democracy and we must defend it--and defend and define its history collectively. profiles.howard.edu/sherrilyn-if...

And here's a young volunteer carrying on the traditions of the Colored Conventions! The Equal Rights League of Ohio had a 15 year secretary of the Convention alongside a 70-year old boatman and one of the most important organizers of the state all lead together! @douglassday.bsky.social #DouglassDay
