In this exciting collaboration with Frederick Douglass Family Initiatives and HITRECORD, Kenneth Morris, Jr. walks The Tight Rope. Kenneth Morris, Jr. descends from two of the most influential names in American history: he is the great-great-great grandson of Frederick Douglass and the great-great grandson of Booker T. Washington.
Morris continues his family’s legacy of anti-slavery and educational work as co-founder and president of the Frederick Douglass Family Initiatives, a nonprofit organization based in New York. His career and life path have been driven by a clear focus on FDFI’s mission “To Build Strong Children and to end systems of exploitation and oppression.“
We discuss Morris’ collaboration with HITRECORD, an open online community for creative collaboration founded by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Kenneth Morris and HITRECORD are partnering to create a series of art pieces that celebrate Black Excellence and highlight influential figures from Black history. Contribute your ideas and get involved with the project at hitrecord.org/monuments.
