Until the lion learns how to write,
every story will glorify the hunter.

Things Fall Apart – Chinua Achebe – 1958

The Frederick Douglass Community Association – FDCA – affectionately named “The Doug” by its neighbors is the beloved historical jewel in the community.  This community association has been in existence for over 100 years and counting.  We endeavor to be the demonstration of “love in action” in an underrepresented community that resides within the heart of a health, digital, and food desert. We will extend the fabric of care to each neighbor who needs it and engage public and private partners who share this same commitment.  We endeavor to be the first stop for our neighbors in celebration, recreation and especially when in need of information as we equip the Next Generation with wisdom from our Elders and the Legacy of Frederick Douglass’ life lessons.
