Happy Birthday, Fredrick Douglass! Please cordially accept this invitation to celebrate Fredrick Douglass’ birthday this Valentine’s Day. Although Douglass never knew his birth date, he chose to celebrate every year on February 14th. We celebrate this date as a moment for creating Black history together. Seton Hall University Libraries and Research Data Services is hosting the Douglass Day transcribe-a-thon as part of collective action to recognize Douglass’ contributions and activism. For more information about this event please consult the Seton Hall University Libraries Douglass Day Site and further details on additional celebrations can also be found via the official National Douglass Day Website.
We welcome you to our information center in the near future, but in the meantime if you need detailed help through the University Libraries. You can book a research appointment here: Research Appointment Site.
