I Can Make A Difference: An Exhibition by the scholars of Metanoia's Freedom Summer 

On this 60th anniversary of Freedom Summer of 1964, which inspired Children's Defense Fund (CDF) Freedom Schools in operation across the U.S. today, scholars of Metanoia Freedom School have collaborated with the Gibbes Museum of Art to present a community art exhibition.

This year, the Freedom Summer Scholars focused on photography, capturing the art within their own lives. The photography displayed gives an inside look into the Metanoia community, through the lens of a young artist.

Thematically, each week of Freedom School focuses on the overarching theme of Making a Difference. Collages and photos featured in this exhibit will display images and words that reflect the thoughts and dreams of these young scholars and will showcase their desire to make a difference within their community.
