Who Are We

[/text_block]

[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left” font_size=”21″ font_style=”300″ font_color=”%23000000″ top_padding=”0″]Frederick Douglass’ writings and speeches about economic prosperity, liberty, school choice, science, free speech, religious freedom, work ethic, entrepreneurship, the limited power of government and more, are just as compelling and necessary today as they were over 100 years ago. We refer to these tenets of liberty as Douglass’ Life-Empowering Values™ because these are the core principles Douglass passionately embraced—enabling him to rise from slavery to prosperity. Worth $300,000 at the time of his death in 1895, Frederick Douglass built a fortune of more than 20 million dollars in today’s money, through speaking fees, book royalties, key presidential appointments and personal investments.

At The Douglass Initiative (TDI), we believe Douglass’ impactful liberty concepts can help us to: (1) Better our communities; and (2) Advance the cause of a free and prosperous America.

TDI is inspiring and mentoring the next generation of scientists and innovators (PreK to PhD) by introducing the scientific method in the early years—targeting disadvantaged students. We are developing a sustainable pipeline of technical talent to ensure the United States’ ranking as a global leader in the fields of science and technology.

TDI is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit, non-partisan, educational organization.
