We invite you to a birthday party for Frederick Douglass. Although Douglass was born into bondage, and never knew his birthdate, he chose to celebrate every year on February 14th. This year, Douglass Day celebrates the life and activism of Mary Ann Shadd Cary (1823-1893). She was one of the earliest Black women to edit a newspaper, serve as a Civil War recruiter, attend law school, and so much more. Help us transcribe documents from Shadd Cary's long and fascinating life to enrich several newly digitized collections at Archives of Ontario and Libraries and Archives Canada. We kick off Douglass Day with a keynotem with Ozi Uduma, assistant curator of Global Contemporary Art at the University of Michigan Museum of Art.
