      Visit to Frederick Douglass House
      
        
          
            Frederick Douglass spent his life fighting for justice and equality. Born into slavery in 1818, he escaped as a young man and became a leading voice in the abolitionist movement. People today find inspiration in his tireless struggle, brilliant words, and inclusive vision of humanity. The Women’s Ministry Team and Antiracism Ministry are coordinating a group tour at the Frederick Douglass Historic site on Saturday, May 11.
