Exhibits

Currently, 'I Am Frederick Douglass' is on display in GBF Hall. This exhibit features a broad sweep of the environment into which he was born and highlights his work during the 19th century.

This 19th century African American grew to become the leading spokesperson for the emancipation of enslaved Africans in addition to the cause for equal rights for everyone.
