Cedar Hill

The Frederick Douglass Bridge


This painting somewhat resembles this image from the cover of Frederick Douglass: A Clarion Voice by John Blassingame, 1976.


And this photo which appeared in Frederic May Holland, Frederick Douglass: the colored orator, 1895.



Charles Henry Alston pictured Douglass in a  WWII propaganda poster.
