Fredrick Douglass and the North Star

Frederick Douglass was an outstanding reader, writer, orator, and freedom fighter. His courage as a black man and escaped slave continues to inspire millions of people worldwide. In Frederick Douglass and the North Star, author and artist Dr. Lorenzo Pace uses imaginative art and a smoothly paced narrative to tell the story of Douglass’s abolitionist newspaper and its role in the fight to end slavery in the United States.

He is the sculptor commissioned to create Triumph of the Human Spirit for the African Burial Ground Memorial in Foley Square Park in New York City.
