African Americans have played an integral role in the development of the culture, education and economics of the state.
North Carolina is one of only a few states that has not yet honored with a public monument the African American experience.
The Freedom Park has already received a Merit Award from the American Institute of Architects Triangle Section for the project’s design.
Our Vision
The Freedom Park offers a place for school children, visitors, residents, citizens, and policymakers to learn about the contributions of African Americans toward a better society. We can all share and reflect upon the importance of freedom for every citizen and the sanctity of justice and equality for all.
