Add the S to Honor Douglass | Lawrence News
Description
A grassroots movement in Douglas County, Kansas, is pushing to rename the county “Douglas County” with an added “s” to honor Frederick Douglass over Stephen A. Douglas, sparking a powerful conversation about history, legacy, and what communities choose to represent. Launched with a sold-out zine event at Raven Book Store, featuring poetry, music, and speakers from B.L.A.C.K. Lawrence, the campaign asks: “Will we live up to our name?” With plans to print more zines for $5, the effort is turning heads and igniting dialogue about whose stories we celebrate—and who we’re willing to rewrite history for.
