Videos

The Frederick Douglass Honor Society has produced a number of videos for many of our events. During the Covid pandemic we created documentaries, pre-recorded events and presentations and live events on our Frederick Douglass Day Facebook page. Many of these videos are on our past events pages but we have brought them together here on one page so that they can be more easily accessed. Pleas enjoy them and let us know what you think on our contact page!

 

 

Life In Talbot County: Through the Eyes of Frederick Douglass

Produced for the Frederick Douglass Honor Society for the 2022 Frederick Douglass Day, the film uses Frederick Douglass's own words, read by Keidrick Roy, about his life as a young slave in Talbot County. Set against visuals filmed in and around Talbot County from the Tuckahoe River to the Wye Plantation, the film follows Frederick's journey towards freedom. As Douglass said, “You have seen how a man became a slave; you shall see how a slave becomes a man”
