by Press Release An actor portraying Frederick Douglass, an important figure in black history, will present a talk at Rockford College February 18, 4 p.m. in the Fisher Chapel.
Steve A. Cole will re-enact Douglass in a portrayal that is free and open to the public. The talk is one of several activities at the college marking Black History Month.
A native of Freeport, Cole, 55, has spent the last 12 years portraying Douglass. He says playing the late-Civil War era abolitionist and relating stories of those who fought defending our country is an honor and a privilege.
The talk is part of Rockford College’s Forum Series. While admission is free, a ticket is required and may be secured at the college’s box office in the Clark Arts Center. For more, call 815-226-4100. To see the entire Forum Series line-up for the semester, go to www.rockford.edu/?page=ForumSeries.
