Donate
You can support the mission of the 1619 Freedom School with a tax-deductible donation today. We are committed to providing a compassionate and empowering learning space where students and teachers collaborate to improve literacy skills and develop a love for reading and books through liberating instruction centered on Black American history.
Buy Books for the 1619 Freedom School’s Liberation Library!
For $1,000, you can buy a shelf of books for the Liberation Library. Donors who buy a shelf will have a nameplate included on the funded shelf.
For $300, you can buy a student’s personal library for their enjoyment at home.
You can also buy one or more books directly from the school's Amazon wishlist. Purchased books will be sent directly to the school.
