The Frederick Douglass Foundation, one of the nation’s largest conservative African American organizations, announced it has changed its name to the Frederick Douglass Freedom Alliance. The change reflects the organization’s continued commitment to the principles of freedom championed by abolitionist, author, and orator Frederick Douglass. The organization's mission remains focused on advocating for free-market principles, limited government intervention, and citizen engagement grounded in biblical and constitutional conservative values.
“This change is more than just a new name. It is a determined decision to amplify the core values that have always been at the heart of our organization,” said Troy Rolling, president of the organization and one of its co-founders. “By focusing on the words freedom and alliance, the new name reaffirms our core principles of self-determination and working as a collective to impact public policy and popular culture with biblical principles.”
The name change also gives the organization an opportunity to reflect and honor the remarkable contributions of two co-founders, the late Dean Nelson and Timothy Johnson. They recognized the need for an African American-led organization in the public square that fought for biblical solutions to issues facing the nation.
"Dean and Timothy understood with laser-focused clarity the importance of building a national grassroots alliance," Rolling continued. "Their passion and commitment to the principles of freedom resonate in everything we do. As we embrace this new chapter as the Frederick Douglass Freedom Alliance, we carry their legacy with us, honoring their memory and working to build on the foundation they established."
The Frederick Douglass Freedom Alliance has already achieved significant milestones, including establishing 12 active alliances with more than 500 members. The organization has shared more than 1 million voter guides with voters across the nation. In key states like Georgia, Florida, Missouri, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, the organization has made a substantial impact in elections through values-oriented educational resources.
The Frederick Douglass Freedom Alliance will continue to emphasize the importance of biblical and constitutional conservative principles, advocating for policies that promote economic freedom, individual responsibility, and a limited government that respects the rights of its citizens.
