Freedom Project in The Cincinnati Enquirer

Tue, 16 Jan 2007 10:40:00 -0500

The Cincinnati Enquirer published a great article about the Freedom Project.

"We're bringing people together in a city far too often segregated," began Greg Landsman of the Freedom Center, by way of introducing the Freedom Project. The problem, as defined by the project, is that too many people live, work and socialize with people that look just like them - and rarely with people of a different race.

"When I came here, I noticed Cincinnati is segregated," said Johnmark Oudersluys, a volunteer on the Freedom YP team. "And it is going to be our generation that changes that."
