Ken Morris, Douglass and Washington Descendant Talks about Modern Day Slavery

Ken Morris, Douglass and Washington Descendant Talks about Modern Day Slavery

Frederick Douglass began his Statesman years by moving from Rochester, New York to "A" Street on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. after the Civil War in 1872. Kenneth Morris, his great, great, great grandson talks about the Douglass home on Cedar Hill in Anacostia where America's famous abolitionist lived with his family until his death. The home is now under the National Park Service umbrella open to visit. Douglass' son, Charles built a home for his father in Highland Beach near Annapolis, Maryland. While his father never could enjoy the view looking across the Chesapeake Bay to Talbot County where he was born, the home can be visited by appointment.

Ken Morris descends from two great lines of African Americans: Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington. Through an organization begun by his mother, Nettie Washington Douglass, he endeavors to continue his families' legacies for bringing justice and education to all. That organization is the Frederick Douglass Family Initiatives.
