Testimonials

As a teacher for the SCFP, I experienced first-hand the power of an inspiring idea in action – the idea that in today’s world, freedom is no longer earned through marches and rallies, but through math and reading.

One lesson that I have learned from the SCFP is that when things get tough, you have to fight those obstacles head-on and don’t let anything hold you back. That’s the only way to come out on top.

I love the Sunflower County Freedom Project because it is like a home away from home and you have another family who helps you and wants you to succeed in life.

Michael Burse,5th Year Freedom Fellow

‘A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.’ I love the Freedom Project because it helps me to make that one step to start my journey.
