As we celebrate the start of Black History Month and reflect on the undeniable role that Black history has played in shaping the Rochester community, we would also like to celebrate the chosen birthday month of Frederick Douglass, a Rochester native, abolitionist, and prolific equal rights activist.

While Douglass's actual birth date is unknown, he chose February 14th as his chosen birthday. Frederick Douglass is buried in the iconic Mt. Hope Cemetery in Rochester, NY and his legacy continues to be felt all over Greater Rochester. Be sure to check out the various statues, public art, and memorials dedicated to Frederick Douglass the next time you visit Rochester.
