Скачать или смотреть A Q&A with Reverend Julius David Jackson, Jr. about Turning The Dirt For Frederick Douglass

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 that 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.
