The mural, painted by world-renowned muralist Michael Rosato of Cambridge, Maryland in 2021, features a timeline of the life of Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey Douglass and his wife, Anna Murray Douglas. Painted on panels, the work chronicles the factors that shaped Douglass as a man and advocate for human rights, highlighting his emphasis on education, and his work in a shipyard and The North Star newspaper. It also focuses on the family’s proud history of military service and illustrates Douglass’ lasting contributions to the progression of African Americans from slavery to the White House. It depicts the life of Frederick Douglass and his family, as well as how his legacy has impacted our society through the years. The artist hopes that this piece can be used as a teaching tool. The artist also created a mural of Harriett Tubman in Cambridge, MD.
