The Frederick Douglass Neighborhood Association (FDNA) takes its name from America’s early civil rights leader and the street in Brockton named in his honor, which runs from Main Street to Warren Avenue in downtown.

We believe that everyone deserves to live in a beautiful and vibrant neighborhood. We are an all-volunteer group of citizens who live, work and worship in the area around Frederick Douglass Avenue. We honor the legacy of Frederick Douglass and the threads in his life that are woven today within the diversity of our city through

community education, engagement and the arts. Together, we work to enrich our neighborhood by :

• Encouraging the beautification of our neighborhood through the arts

and maintenance of the privately owned land currently used as a garden on

Frederick Douglass Avenue;

• Building appreciation for the history of Frederick Douglass, the Underground

Railroad, and the connection of that history to the Brockton community of today;

• Organizing social gatherings to build community;

• Supporting local businesses by contributing to economic initiatives;

• Serving as a forum and a facilitator for neighbors to convene on shared topics of concern to the area.
