And you.

That’s why, when we heard about Frederick Douglass, we knew he was the perfect person to guide you around the capital of the United States of America, Washington D.C.

Frederick Douglass was born a slave in 1818, yet he went on to teach himself how to read and write, publish three autobiographies, found newspapers, speak in front of thousands of people and hold public office in Washington D.C. A trail-blazer if ever there was one! So much so, that there are parks, neighbourhoods and streets named after him not only in the United States but as far away as Ireland and England, which he also visited. He appears in songs, movies and video games, and now he’s here. To show you the sights of the city where he spent the last years of his life.

And what sights there are to see! From the iconic White House on Pennsylvania Avenue to the Lincoln Monument Reflecting Pool, (which makes an appearance in the movie Forrest Gump), you’ll feel instantly at home. With Frederick Douglass by your side to describe and explain everything, even the lesser-known locations will captivate your imagination. He dedicated his later life to making Washington D.C. a better place.

See for yourself how he did. You’re going to be impressed.
