In a one-time special initiative RICH will undertake a series of programs across the state aimed at engaging Rhode Islanders in a critical and creative examination of the nature of freedom today and how our notions of freedom have evolved, been challenged, and been reshaped over time.

What is freedom? What defines freedom and access to it? What does it mean to be a free individual, a free society, a free country, or a free world? Does freedom mean the same thing to everyone? How are definitions of freedom changing? In what ways are different notions of freedom compatible or conflicting? Where does freedom end, and personal or social responsibility begin?

RICH will engage the Rhode Island public with these questions and issues through every area of our work.
