Each year, one or more local heroes will be honored and celebrated at Freedom Walkway.  With the Friendship 9 as a model, the Walkway honors citizens who have fought, either today or in the past, for the cause of greater justice
and equality for all.  The Freedom Walkway Local Heroes Committee accepts nominations of individuals or groups of individuals who have made a significant contribution to the cause of justice and equality for all citizens.
