Implementation of six public discussion programs at the William C. Goodridge Freedom Center and Underground Railroad Museum.

Through the Preserving Voices of Freedom project, the William C. Goodridge Freedom Center and Underground Railroad Museum (GFC) seeks to hold six Live & Learn Civic Dialogue and community discussions. Through these discussions, we plan to incorporate the expertise of living history interpreters, civic dialogue facilitators, and novels to engage attendees in culturally relevant discussions in a safe environment while encouraging a mindset of equity and diversity of viewpoints. The Preserving Voices of Freedom project will additionally provide the ability to retain GFC’s part-time museum manager position and provide funds to aid the salary of the GFC’s administrative director.
