The Frederick Douglass Center for Leadership Through the Humanities hosts Kenneth Morris as the inaugural speaker for its Lessons in Leadership series. A descendant of Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington, Morris will share insights on leadership and his work to end systems of exploitation and oppression through his role as co-founder and president of the Rochester, NY-based nonprofit Frederick Douglass Family Initiatives (FDFI).
Morris will be in conversation with ARHU Dean Stephanie Shonekan and Associate Dean GerShun Avilez, director of the Douglass Center. This event will be followed by a reception and include a book giveaway of the “Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass.”
