The Rosedale Freedom Project is a non-profit youth empowerment organization that works with middle- and high-school students in the Mississippi Delta. Our mission is to support the Mississippi Delta’s young leaders in the development of critical consciousness and the practice of justice through community building, exploration, artistic creation, organizing, and the study of social history and grassroots democracy. Inspired by the legacy of the 1960's Civil Rights movement, we envision a world in which each individual, regardless of race, gender, sexuality, religion, geography, or ability has the opportunity to actualize their fullest potential through their participation in a democratic community. Our work lays the foundation for this future by empowering students to critique and challenge oppression; engage in active community-building among their peers and in their town; and define the terms of their own liberation through artistic, intellectual, and social exploration.
