Freedom is a settlement in the U.S. state of Georgia established in September 2020, in the wake of a breakdown of race relations after the killing of several African Americans, including the murder of Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia.[1] It was created by 19 African-American families who together purchased Шаблон:Convert of land in Wilkinson County, near Macon, with the goal of incorporating a city that is a "safe haven for people of color".[2][3][4]
History
Freedom was inspired by a June 2020 viral false news story that the nearby town of Toomsboro, Georgia, was for sale. Although Toomsboro was not for sale as the town's mayor explained, a large amount of rural land near the town was available for purchase. This inspired Renee Walters and Ashley Scott, a realtor from Stonecrest, to create the Freedom Georgia Initiative and propose purchasing the Шаблон:Convert of land. They brought together 19 African-American families who raised the money to purchase the land. [2] The settlement is located about Шаблон:Convert south of Atlanta.[5] As of July 2023, the settlement consists of a dilapidated campground, and its founders are working on establishing roads and utility services before beginning building residences.[1] Currently, the settlement consists of more than Шаблон:Convert throughout two parcels.[6]
