 \n\n\nJoin us for Douglass Day!\n\nA day of love & collective action for 
 Black history!\n\nEvery Valentine’s Day\, we invite you to a birthday 
 party for Frederick Douglass. Although Douglass never knew his birthdate\, 
 he chose to celebrate every year on February 14th. We celebrate this date 
 as a moment for creating Black history together.\n\n \n\n\n\n\nFAQ\n\nWhat 
 is Douglass Day?\n\nDouglass Day is an annual program that marks the birth 
 of Frederick Douglass. Each year\, we gather thousands of people to help 
 create new & freely available resources for learning about Black history. 
 We frequently focus on important Black women’s archives\, such as Anna 
 Julia Cooper (2020)\, Mary Church Terrell (2021)\, Mary Ann Shadd Cary 
 (2023) and plenty more to come in future years. Learn more about the 
 history of Douglass Day.\n\nSee our Douglass Day pages for 2017\, 2018\, 
 2019\, 2020\, 2021\, 2022\, 2023\, and 2024.\n\nWhat is a 
 transcribe-a-thon?\n\nTranscribe-a-thons are events in which people gather 
 together to work side-by-side on a crowdsourcing transcription project. We 
 feature a different project each year.\n\nWill this year’s events be held 
 in person or virtually?\n\nDouglass Day 2025 will take many forms — 
 in-person\, online\, or hybrid! We are delighted to present Douglass Day
