In April of 2018, a year long national celebration commemorating the bicentenial of the birth of Frederick Douglass will be launched in Washington D.C. The event is a non-partisan collaboration of several organizations including the Frederick Douglass Foundation, the Douglass Leadership Institute, and Northstar Leadership Fund PAC. My commisioned painting of Mr. Douglas has been selected as the official logo for the celebration, being called "Historical, Contemporary, and Relevant." Heads of the House of Representatives and Senate are involved and merchandise is available at the website #whoisfrederickdouglass.com.
