7:00 pm: Fredrick Dougless Statue


February 14, 2023

 

 

Turning the Dirt for Frederick Douglass

(The Fredrick Douglass Statue)

by Reverend Julius Jackson, Jr.

Rochester’s monument to Frederick Douglass was the first in the country to honor an African American. Reverend Jackson will introduce a locally produced short film which tells the story of the monument and his vision to honor Douglass by relocating and illuminating the monument in its new location at Highland Park, and his efforts to rename the Rochester International Airport after Douglass. Additional discussion, along with a question-and-answer session, will follow.

The Reverend Julius David Jackson, Jr. (known as JD) is the pastor of United Church of Pittsford. Besides his numerous awards for his fraternal and civic work, he has served on boards of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Greater Rochester Commission, Big Brother Big Sisters, the School of the Arts (SOTA), and AIDs Community Health Center. He is also a member of the Monroe County Democratic Committee. He is a graduate of RIT and holds a master’s degree in Divinity from Colgate Rochester Crozier Divinity School.
