The DC State Chess Federation provides accessible and affordable opportunities for all children, adults, and seniors to learn and play chess in and around the District of Columbia, particularly people of color who are historically underrepresented in chess and to build bridges between people of diverse backgrounds.
Frederick Douglass (1817 or 1818 - 1895) was an American social reformer, abolitionist, orator, writer, and statesman. After escaping from slavery in Maryland, Douglass became a national leader of the abolitionist movement in Massachusetts and New York, during which he gained fame for his oratory and incisive antislavery writings.
In 1874, Rutherford B. Hayes named Douglass United States Marshal for the District of Columbia, making him the first person of color to be so named. Three years later he bought the house that was to be the family's final home in Washington, DC, on a hill above the Anacostia River. The home is now preserved as the Frederick Douglass National Historic Site.
