a concert violinist, was one of the first African-American performers to be nationally and internationally renowned. His influence came at an early age from his father and grandfather, famous abolitionist Frederick Douglass, who were both amateur violin players.

In the 1890s, he was lauded by the black press as "the most talented violinist of the race".[2] Douglass toured extensively for three decades, performing in every Black educational institution and America and a significant amount of churches as well.[3] Douglass was also the first violinist- of any race- to make recordings for the Victor Talking Machine Company.
