"Controversy arises over new Frederick Douglass mural in Easton," Star Democrat, November 22, 2023
EASTON — Some county residents and living relatives of Frederick Douglass are raising concerns about the appropriateness of a new mural depicting the famous local abolitionist along a prominent street in Easton.
“Liberty,” a 21-foot-tall and 16-foot-wide mural by artist Adam Himoff, was unveiled earlier this month. The prominent artwork, featured in the alley next to Out of the Fire, portrays a modern version of Douglass, who is shown squatting down and wearing Converse All-Stars and a large wristwatch.
