The Frederick Douglass Monument was mostly hidden on a hillside above the Highland Bowl until 2019 when, under an initiative led by the Rev. Julius David Jackson, Jr. ("JD"), the Douglass monument was moved to the newly created Frederick Douglass Memorial Plaza on the corner of Robinson Drive and South Avenue. The establishment of the plaza achieved illumination of the monument and provided a prominent and accessible location within Highland Park. JD was inspired by civil rights icon Andrew Young’s admonishment at the November 13, 2006, Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial groundbreaking to "also 'turn the dirt' when you return home to your local community." Presentation at Olmsted Lodge, 171 Reservoir Avenue 14620.) See https://www.highlandparkconservancy.org/videos for ‘Turning the Dirt.’ Please register via Eventbrite–see link above.
