For the third episode of the Lincolnville Series, we are revisiting the life of Frederick Douglas, a lead abolitionist, speaker, and political figure that advocated for human rights, freedom, and equality. Excerpts from his memoir were taken from his bestselling book titled "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave."

St. Augustine, also known as the Oldest City in the United States, contains a melting pot of cultures and is steeped in Native American, British, French, Spanish, Minorcan, and African American history. Proof of its cultural influence can be found in Victorian-styled homes, coquina architectural elements, landmarks such as the Cathedral Basilica, and others. Join us as we learn about the history of Lincolnville, a community comprised of freedmen and women.
