Description: The Freedom Center of Oklahoma City is a 501c3 nonprofit organization established to educate, empower and enlighten our nation to reflect on the past, present and future of the Civil Rights Movement in Oklahoma.
As caretakers of the historic Freedom Center building, we develop facilities and programs to preserve our history and work towards a world without racism and bigotry.

This five-acre campus will be constructed immediately adjacent to the historic building, transforming the city, state and nation's knowledge of our civil rights history and positively influencing the future of northeast Oklahoma City and our entire community. With exhibition and programming areas, a café, welcome center, outdoor and events spaces, this new campus will be an educational and community gathering place that honors the past, enlightens visitors today and empowers the next generation of leadershi
