Frederick Douglass Memorial Project Solicits Community Input
On October 14, Sasaki designers Breeze Outlaw, Diana Fernandez-Bibeau, Sasaki alum Melissa Isidor, and the Frederick Douglass Sculpture Committee hosted an engaging community meeting to envision the future of the Frederick Douglass Sculpture Plaza.
The discussions around public space and comfort centered around how to create a space that’s welcoming to all but acts as a safe space for Boston’s black community. The session included a moving spoken word performance of “Radical Black Girl” by local artist Des Polk.
