Frederick Douglass Legacy Mural

In December 2021, local community leaders and advocates cut the ribbon on a mural depicting the life of abolitionist and scholar Frederick Douglass, for whom the ROC Airport was renamed in February 2021. The mural was presented to the Airport by local philanthropist Michelle Daniels, who worked closely with Douglass ancestors and local historians to conceptualize the piece. The mural is located in the public side of the Airport, inside the Airfield Observatory, for all passengers and visitors to enjoy.

There are three main focal points that depict the Douglass family in the year 1854, and 12 illustrations that prompt you to follow the Douglass family in Rochester from 1847 (left side) – 1872 (right side). There are two additional scenes that honor the Frederick Douglass Legacy Scholars and the Sprague family. Each story uncovers a layer of this complex patriotic family.

The mural introduces you to some friends of the family that are rarely discussed in local/national history such as Jermaine Wesley Loguen, John Brown, and Gerrit Smith. The viewer will also note some more familiar faces – Susan B. Anthony, Harriet Tubman, and President Abraham Lincoln.

Interpretative tours are given by appointment only. If you are interested in receiving a personal tour, please contact MCAirport@monroecounty.gov and write Douglass Tour in the subject line.
