Douglass Community Center
Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey arrived in New York with the aid of a free woman named Anna Murray. She followed him to New York, and eleven days after his arrival, they married. The couple continued to settle in New Bedford, Massachusetts, home to a thriving free African American community, and adopted the named Frederick Douglass and Anna Murray-Douglass. This freedom grove of sugar maples represent the state of New York where Bailey achieved his freedom and married the woman he loved.HM Number | HM2EAD |
