Last month the video essay contest was announced at Pomfret Community School, our local prep schools and for home schooled students. Administrators, teachers and parents were excited and supportive of the fun opportunity for learning more about this historic leader and applying his leadership lessons in today’s society.
“The video essays by Beloved and KCarl are a testament to the excitement around this essential American hero, said Martha Emilio, Chairperson of the Pomfret Republican Town Committee’s Events Committee. “We are very thankful for their support of our first annual Frederick Douglass Celebration and hope everyone will watch them and learn more about Frederick Douglass.”
