The Anna and Frederick Douglass Park is especially significant to ITAV's Village Leadership Academy. The park was renamed after VLA students' "Change the Name" campaign, which successfully pushed for the renaming of the park, originally named after a slave-owning family in a historically Black neighborhood.
Tickets are sold out for Village Fest, but all are still welcome and will be accepted at the door. The event is free to attend.
