“
Mrs. Frost, BC’s American Literature teacher, had the
opportunity to visit Washington DC this spring. The highlight was a trip to
Frederick Douglass’ DC home, Cedar Hill,
where he spent the last 19 years of his
life. He fought for slave’s rights and women’s rights. He acknowledged
“Divine Providence” – God’s direct hand in his life.
He was a respected advisor to President Lincoln and others. Redemption is a cornerstone of his life – born a slave,
freed from slavery, self-taught – he never tired of speaking and writing for
the freedom of others. This DC experience will help Mrs. Frost enrich her classroom presentation of
Douglass’ slave narrative.
Above is Cedar Hill, home to Frederick
Douglass; and Mrs. Frost, sitting the porch of his home.
