St. James House of Prayer is once again getting ready to host their annual Lincoln-Douglass Ball!
The Lincoln-Douglass Ball originated in Tampa's black community during Jim Crow segregation and celebrated the relationship between President Abraham Lincoln and Abolitionist Frederick Douglass. Now held in February each year, St. James House of Prayer continues the tradition in its annual ball that has become a symbol of racial unity, interfaith community, and intercultural acceptance. 100 % of the proceeds from the Lincoln-Douglass Ball goes to support Cornerstone Kids, Inc.
This year's Lincoln-Douglass Ball will be held on Saturday, February 8, at 6:00 PM at the Embassy Suites-USF Grand Ball Room.
