As part of our effort to commemorate America’s 250th birthday this year, we have commissioned statues throughout Florida to honor the influential figures who shaped our nation’s history and civic tradition.

Today, I was proud to unveil our newest statue honoring abolitionist, author, and statesman Frederick Douglass. A devout Christian, he dedicated his life to fighting for equality of all people under the law. Douglass was guided by the same belief that we hold dear today: Our rights are given to us by God, not government.

In 1889, Douglass traveled the country delivering speeches to enthusiastic crowds, including right here in Florida. You can visit his statue in the Plaza de la Constitución, near the site where Douglass once addressed Floridians in St. Augustine.

Wyman Duggan, Dean Black muscle through local bills for Duval, Nassau Counties Space, schools, and an obsolete board will be impacted if these measures become law.
