Older children can use the coloring page as a starting point for a Frederick Douglass one-pager, research project, or discussion about civil rights leaders and the history of racial equality in America.

You can also pair it with a simple Frederick Douglass drawing for kids activity. After coloring, children can try a simple Frederick Douglass drawing, create a Frederick Douglass sketch, or learn how to draw a historical figure using basic shapes and lines.
