The Big Idea
Community Action Duluth’s Family FREEDOM School Initiative draws inspiration from 1960s civil rights curriculum to engage local multigenerational Black families. The initiative wants to strengthen families through educational opportunities designed by community members to address institutional racism, privilege and social isolation. Grandparents, young families and their children will be invited to organize and implement the Family FREEDOM School Initiative.
