Freedom Hill, launched in the summer of 2019, provides ongoing opportunities to connect in imagining an equitable public education system. We are committed to building spaces, structures, and institutions that transform existing systems of power.
We meet on Freedom Hill to build our new future together.
Committed members of the Freedom Hill Coalition
How was the Coalition formed?
On June 7th, 2019, CREED convened a broad cross-section of leaders and organizations throughout North Carolina doing reputable work in the way of racial equity. In attendance were elected officials, educators, parents, students, nonprofit leaders, activist/organizers, philanthropists, consultants, etc. After presenting the preliminary findings of the E(race)ing Inequities report, we invited attendees to be part of a statewide coalition led by CREED to develop a coherent and shared-agenda for achieving racial equity in education. Over 20 individuals and organizations committed to becoming founding members of the Freedom Hill Coalition.
In Our Wildest Dreams: Casting a Vision for North Carolina’s Educational Future
The Freedom Hill Coalition is committed to cross-racial and cross-cultural collaboration through coalition-building. This was crucial conversation + skill building time in which we examined these critical questions:
Based on historical lessons, what can we build upon?
What is your wildest dreams for North Carolina's Public Education system?
Who do we see as fundamental to this dream??
What are you committed to do now for our collective future?
