Black History

Faces Of Freedom goes Virtual

/ Nicola Rickards Karesh / Leave a comment

You are invited to our 7th annual “Faces Of Freedom” event. We went virtual this year, sharing wonderful content and creations (art, conversation, poetry, music) from a variety of diverse and talented local voices, both youth and adult. We started the event to coincide with the beginning of black history month, and will come to an end at the end of March.

Our generous co-sponsors are Morning Glory Inspirations and the Transylvania Community Arts Council in Brevard, N.C. Their ongoing and generous support has been invaluable!

My conversation with Ricky Walker. It covers just about everything, from incarceration to recovery and freedom, conversion from illegal to legal entrepreneurship, being real, choices and consequences, relationships, dreams and possibilities, overcoming and growing… and how absolutely precious life is! #FacesOfFreedom

Just a little bit from our neck of the woods and how we have been getting people out, involved and loving life while celebrating history!

And in the heart of historic Rosenwald, minutes from downtown Brevard, N.C., you can catch a walking tour throughout the month and the rest of the year! Yes, even in the winter months, we have something just for you!
