- Abstract:
general
(displayLabel="Scope and Contents note")
- Sculptor Stanley W. Edwards modeled Douglass with his shoulders back, feet planted squarely forward, and his arms outstretched with his palms open as if he were addressing an audience. Mounted on the statue's pedestal are four bronze plaques, three of which are inscribed with quotes from Frederick Douglass. This monument was originally located in front of the old New York Central Train Station (St. Paul Street and Central Avenue) in Rochester, New York. In 1941, the work was moved to Highland Bowl, a part of Highland Park, close to the location of Douglass' farm (no longer extant) on South Avenue. Photos of the monument were taken in Highland Bowl, Highland Park, Rochester, New York in 2018. In October 2019, the City of Rochester moved the monument to a newly designated Frederick Douglass Memorial Plaza at South Avenue and Robinson Drive.
