Join us for a birthday party for Frederick Douglass: a day of love and collective action for Black history!

This year’s Transcribe-a-thon features the African American Perspectives Collection at the Library of Congress.

There will be a birthday cake decorating station (11a-12p) and lunch from Calypso Kitchen (12p-1p)!

Additional information about Douglass Day at Western can be found on the Multicultural Student Services website here, and the full event schedule for Black History Month 2025 is available here.
