WE ARE FRANKLINTON CENTER AT BRICKS
Representing
152
years of faith, freedom, justice, equality
We are located on land that has been transformed from a slave plantation into sacred life-giving space for justice, equality, inclusivity, and healing.
Symbolized by the Sankofa Bird whose feet are firmly planted forward while its head is
turned backwards carrying a precious egg in its mouth.
It symbolizes our belief that
the past, present, and future connect - our past serves as a guide for our
present and a blueprint for the next 152
years.
Our Mission
To promote
justice, equality, inclusivity, and healing by providing a life-giving home to
local, national, global, programs and organizations.
Our Vision
To manifest a
world where systematic oppression does not exist.
To promote community, environmental, spiritual healing where the whole divinity of a person is realized.
To honor and embrace the memory and contribution of our
elders.
To be an advocate
for the educational and economic development of the rural community/counties in
which we are located.
Our Council of Elders Freedom Walkway Campaign
(Engraved Bricks)
To create a walkway throughout the campus to memorialize those
that were enslaved, educated, liberated and empowered.
