freedom monument sculpture parkAt the heart of this 17-acre site rises the National Monument to Freedom, which honors four million formerly enslaved Black people who won freedom after the Civil War. For formerly enslaved people who survived the horrors of slavery, the 1870 census provided the first opportunity to exercise newfound liberty and express deeply rooted hope for the future by officially registering chosen family names. More than 100,000 names representing millions of Black families are engraved here, forging a connection to the courage, strength, and resilience of ancestors that you can reach out and touch.
