Charles H. Parrish Jr. Freedom Park, established in 2012 by the University of Louisville, is dedicated to advancing understanding of the history of race relations and the civil rights movement in Louisville and the broader Commonwealth of Kentucky. This park commemorates the experiences of African Americans through a series of informational obelisks and glass panels reflecting significant contributions and historical contexts.

The park serves as a dynamic site for exploring Louisville's evolution from its early days as a city marked by slavery to its current efforts toward inclusivity and equality. It provides a poignant counter-narrative to the city-owned Confederate monument removed in 2016, presenting a more complete account of the struggle for civil rights in the region.

I graduated from UofL in 2006 and other than heading to PJCS for football games or swing by the SAC to pick up tickets, I don't have many reasons to be on campus or pay attention to what's new...
