The Liberation Trail committee has an “EDUCATION” focus. Their efforts to exhibit things of importance has always been met with praise and astonishment. The nature of their focus goes through research attainment procedures and has the final touch of care and concern added to it.

This mix has generated real support and a growing following to the festival. Last year the sub-theme of “Protest and & Change” featured a Photograph Presentation of the “Ernest Withers Collection, a Multimedia Presentation showcased by Prentice Hall, an African American History Book Display, Local African American History book Makers, a Mini Black Museum, Oratorical competition hosted by BIG- (Blacks In Government), Storytelling, Local History facts and Voter Registration activity.

This year the Liberation Committee will present exhibits that will feature Military involvement.

Exhibits will include “ Medal of Honor Recipients”, USS Cole exhibit, USS Wisconsin information, along with a high school oratorical Contest again hosted by “BIG”-(Blacks in Government), a Civil War Reenactment and more information.

We will have law students on hand to distribute and assist with “Voter Registration information.” So Visit the Liberation Trail and be informed as well as entertained.
