Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California is now featuring a new video installation on the relationship between Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass in honor of Black History Month.
The 9-minute documentary, co-created by Disney and National Geographic, is playing at the park’s Main Street Opera House for The Disneyland Story presenting Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln exhibit.
The documentary details Douglass’s life as a former slave who rose to be a powerful leader in the anti-slavery movement and his friendship with Lincoln.
The new pre-show video is narrated by ABC anchor Robin Roberts and includes testimonials from Douglass’s third great-grandson, Kenneth B. Morris, Jr., and Dr. John Stauffer, an expert on the Civil War era and anti-slavery.
According to the Disney Parks Blog, a group within the company known as PULSE Business Employee Resource Group—which “advocates for cast members of African and Caribbean descent and backgrounds,” according to the park—had significant input within the documentary.
