This Etermal Flame, and the Freedom Center's location in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, is just a few steps from the banks of the Ohio River, which separated slave from free states in the period of American history when slavery was sanctioned in law and supported as a critical component of the national economy. The museum tells that story in major exhibits and programs that have attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors since opening in August 2004.
The website "Freedom Center" includes a great deal of information about the center's mission in today's world. The purpose in presenting this information is to inspire action, in the spirit of the early Century Abolitionists, to pursue justice and freedom for all people.
