POWER OF ONE


Frederick Douglass Family Foundation has joined the United Nations in commemorating December 2 as the International Day for the Abolition of Modern Slavery

Over 4 million people were freed from slavery because of the Emancipation inspired by former slave and advisor to Abraham Lincoln,Frederick Douglass, great great great grandfather of Kenneth Morris, Jr., the current founder and President of the FDF Foundation.  Sadly, there are now 12 -30 million people enslaved in our global society today. 
It is believed that education is the key to raising awareness and bringing a halt to this gross injustice. 

Three of our Senior Globe Changers students have the privilege of being part of their National Youth Council.  Recently, they had been invited to submit video footage to be edited and joined with 50 other students' filming across the country. 

Take a peak at our footage set to the song being used by FDFF called the Power of One by Israel Houghton.
