HUMAN RIGHTS

The Paul Green Foundation provided a significant start-up grant to launch the North Carolina Freedom Monument Project (NCFMP). The purpose of the NCFMP is to create and strengthen bonds between diverse people, to educate and enhance mutual understanding, and to serve as a model of cooperation, respect and common values, by sponsoring an open public process to conceive, finance and create a substantial shared work of public art, to be placed at a prominent location in the capital city of Raleigh, honoring the African-American experience in North Carolina.
