The Maryland Humanities Council grant-supported project, "Faces of Freedom," at Harford Community College uses several humanities disciplines to explore the meaning of freedom in the Upper Chesapeake before, during, and in the aftermath of the Civil War and Emancipation.
An exhibit, book and film discussions, performances and lectures, were held both at the college and with community partners. Iris Barnes of the Hays Heighe House at Harford Community College reflects on the program and its culminating event.
