Distance Learning Great news, Frederick Douglass is now offering virtual programs via video conferencing. As of now we have virtual tours of the site and an introduction to Mr. Douglass's life ready to go. We are still developing additional programs, so if there is a particular topic you would like a program to focus on, let us know and we can potential tailor a program to your classroom's needs. Technical Requirements We have two ways to connect: 1. We can connect to anyone with high speed internet. A microphone and webcam enhance the experience, but are not required. We use a web-based program that allows real-time video and audio as well as file sharing. 2. We can connect through a video conferencing system. This requires you to have a video conferencing system (such as Polycom or Tamberg) on your end. Email us for more information. Annual Oratorical Contest Overview |

Two of Frederick Douglass' sons fought in the 54th Massachusetts (made famous in the movie "Glory"). Both Charles and Frederick Douglass Jr. survived the Civil War, and lived to see their father hang a picture of the 54th storming Fort Wagner in his front hallway at his Cedar Hill home in Washington, DC.
