By: Stephi Wild

Carleen Anderson announced as final performer for Frederick Douglass: An Abolitionist Returns to Bristol on Bank Holiday Monday.
One of the most powerful vocalists of the modern era and a Jazz FM UK Vocalist of the Year, Carleen Anderson has been announced as the final performer for the Frederick Douglass event taking place on Bank Holiday Monday. As part of this event, marking the bicentenary of Douglass' birth, Carleen will be performing at the newly announced final venue - The Wills Memorial Building - concluding an inspirational day of performance from icons of film, theatre, politics and religion, in honour of the life and work of this champion of the abolitionist movement. Carleen Anderson has been a favourite of audiences and fellow artists alike for over two decades. Amy Winehouse famously claimed she would; "hang around all day just to listen to her sound check". She is soul music royalty- James Brown was her godfather, Bobby Byrd her step-father and Vicki Anderson, her mother.https://bristololdvic.org.uk/whats-on/frederick-douglass-an-abolitionist-returns-to-bristol #Douglass200 Join the whole day's events, or feel free to dip in and out throughout the day.
