National Underground Railroad Freedom Center
We arrived in Cincinnati (http://www.cincinnati-oh.gov/cityofcincinnati/visitors/) just in time to snag some supper before the game, but I saw this imposing figure nearby...
The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center (http://freedomcenter.org/). We didn't make it to the Center this time, but we'll get there the next time we are in town! Check out some of the work that they do (http://freedomcenter.org/get-involved/learn-and-engage)... and this was from their Facebook page...
July 29 at 7:22pm · Edited · The
eyes of the nation are on Cincinnati. Today the Hamilton County grand
jury returned an indictment for murder in the tragic shooting death of
Samuel DuBose during a routine traffic stop just over one week ago.
During that time the DuBose family has called repeatedly for only
nonviolent responses while seeking answers from the criminal justice
system. That answer is now at hand and the family’s continued calls for
nonviolent response to ensure that his peaceful way of life
can be remembered purely should be respectfully honored. At the same
time our community must continue to have open and transparent dialogue
as we look deeper into our nation’s racial disparities and seek freedom
and justice for all. The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center
stands ready to be a convener and provide a safe haven for these
conversations. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the DuBose family
during this difficult time. We echo their call for peace and join them
in their belief that the judicial process will reflect integrity and
yield a just outcome. #SamDuBose #BlackLivesMatter
