FreedomCon 2025: Voices of Freedom

Authors across time have challenged us to look back at history and learn what we missed, relearn what we had not fully understood, reexamine new information in more detail, consider new interpretations of old stories, and understand the past and present from new voices uncovered and new voices reclaimed. Join us for FreedomCon 2025, an 8-month series of engaging presentation workshops.

We’re Building an Interpretive Center

In order for Underground Railroad Education Center to continue to expand its outreach and share the empowering reinterpretation of underground railroad history and its relevance for us today, UREC needs a facility fully dedicated to programs, events, exhibits, video documentary production and viewing, research, workforce development, children’s engagement, and the arts. This facility would be the Interpretive Center of Underground Railroad Education Center.
