LYNN – Retired Item reporter Tom Dalton started writing about Frederick Douglass in 1990 to inform readers of the prolific abolitionist’s connection to Lynn.
Douglass resided in Lynn from 1841-1848, and wrote his influential autobiography “The Narrative Life of Frederick Douglass” in the city.
Therefore, he decided to write “Frederick Douglass: The Lynn Years” to provide an accurate record with Douglass’ years in Lynn.
On Tuesday, Dalton sat down with Douglass’ great-great-great grandson Kenneth B. Morris Jr. at the Lynn Museum and Arts to discuss Douglass’ legacy in Lynn.
There, both Dalton and Morris Jr. proposed that Frederick Douglass Park be renamed to The Frederick and Anna Douglass Park.
