A Tapestry of Freedom spotlights the faces, expressions and histories of freedom. This four-month endeavor, promoting harmony, respect and unity, begins in February, bringing people together to celebrate black history, women’s history, cultural diversity and preservation. A Tapestry of Freedom is a four-month long endeavor encompassing Black History Festival (February), Women’s History (March), Cultural Diversity (April), Preservation Month (May), culminating with the National Endowment for the Humanities / American Library Association traveling exhibit “Forever Free: Abraham Lincoln’s Journey to Emancipation”. A Tapestry of Freedom is a multifaceted collaborative project that incorporates digital storytelling, hands-on activities, a replica miniature log cabin, lectures, author appearances, re-enactments, concerts, discussions, temporary displays, and collection development. It will heighten understanding of the local area’s historic role. Bilingual materials, developed for all age levels, will appeal to our diverse community. |
