The Annunciation: 1942
June 1942. "Anacostia, D.C. -- Frederick Douglass housing project. Boy at the playground." 4x5 inch acetate negative by Gordon Parks for the Farm Security Administration. View full size.
Douglass, DC
Frederick Douglass spent his later years in Washington, where he became Marshal of the District of Columbia (a Presidential appointment). He bought and expanded a house in the Anacostia neighborhood; this is now the Frederick Douglass National Historic Site, well worth a visit.
