Tribute at Freedom's Crossing, Inc. is a 501c3-nonprofit Organization.
"Our Mission is to celebrate the strength of our ancestors...while preserving and commemorating history, uplifting the people by education and encouraging our youth, building self-esteem through knowledge while giving back to the community"
We currently have the names of enslaved persons in Lancaster County, Pa. Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, New Jersey and New York, and have hopes of gathering the names of all enslaved persons across the country, then having a monument errected with each of their names engraved in this monument, thus creating monumental tours interstate.
This commemoration will bring back the history of, and life to the areas where these monuments will be placed.
With others involved this could be the community event of all times! Communities that reach out beyond the barriers of their own community, preserve the history of our nation.
