Mission
To reveal stories about freedom's heroes, from the era of the underground railroad to contemporary times, challenging and inspiring everyone to take courageous steps for freedom today.
Programs
2 programs
Education: to educate school age children (k-12), institutions of higher learning, and the general public of the national significance of the underground railroad and lessons learned from the underground railroad through guided tours, teacher workshops, educational outreach programs, scholarly lectures, public forums, first-person re-enactments, and digital/distance learning initiatives, including producing and distributing digital content nationwide.
Community: to form partnerships within the community with like purpose entities and to host community forums and partner programs that will benefit our constituents and further the mission of the freedom center. Partnerships with for-profit and non-profit entities enable the freedom center to expand the resources and the reach of its purpose, including the awareness of the six contemporary unfreedoms: racism, illiteracy, genocide, hunger, tyranny, and slavery.
