Douglass Community Association 3.91

Named after famous African American Frederick Douglass, the Douglass Community Association (Douglass) was founded in 1919 to meet the cultural and social needs of African American soldiers returning to a segregated Kalamazoo community after World War I.

Througout its history, Douglass has passionately served countless individuals and families in the Northside and greater Kalamazoo communities as a center of social, recreation, and human services.
