Frederick Douglass

There was so much equipment from Audi Field in front of this part of the mural, this was the best shot of it I could get, when we went back to try again. Pictured is Frederick Douglass, American social reformer, abolitionist, orator, writer and statesman (c. 1818-1895).

*****

Local artists Kaliq Crosby and Rose Jaffe recently decorated the walls of a new Pepco substation in Southwest Washington with murals of DC icons Marvin Gaye, congressional Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton and famous statesman Frederick Douglas along with other beautiful images, some of which I’ll post individually.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.

The colors really pop. He was a great man. He spent much of his life in Rochester. V

Nice mural you always make the best of a difficult situation .
A very nice Mural the artist who do these are really great.
I am convinced that the Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max is the phone to buy
for those who want excellent images of course you have to learn to use properly.
The colors and resolution is spot on Helen.

Really beautiful! I like that they painted this over the rough brick which really adds to the artistic impact. ~BV~
