Honoring Freedom.
Advancing Community.
The National Freedom Day Association celebrates the legacy of February 1st — the day Major Richard Robert Wright Sr. envisioned a national day to celebrate freedom for all Americans — and carries that mission forward through education, civic engagement, and community programs.
