WashU & Slavery: Douglass Day Event
Drop in for a collaborative digital transcribe-a-thon in celebration of Frederick Douglass’s
birthday. We will be transcribing the correspondence of Frederick Douglass, noted
abolitionist, orator, and U.S. Ambassador to Haiti. Together with Douglass Day events
across the country, we will attempt to transcribe all 8,731 pages in one day!
We encourage you to bring a laptop or tablet; some computers will be available. A
selection of Haitian dishes will be served for lunch, refreshments, and birthday cake will
be provided.
Free and open to all; feel free to come and go as you need to during the event's duration. Registration is requested. For more details, visit library.wustl.edu.
