Frederick Douglass Senior High School is a public high school located in Baltimore, Maryland. Prior to the Supreme Court ruling in 1954, Brown v. Board of Education, Douglass and Dunbar were the only two high schools in Baltimore that African American teenagers could attend. The student body is still virtually all African American as noted during the 2004 50th Anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education decision in which the Baltimore Sun newspaper claimed that Douglass had only two students of a non-African American origin amongst its student body.
