Faces of Religious Freedom

This exhibit explores the lives and deeds of individuals who have helped shape the concept of religious freedom.  Their faces make clear that religious freedom is not just an abstract intellectual concept or legal principle, it is a fundamental human value that shapes and impacts many lives.  The faces reflect a complex and multifaceted understanding of this freedom of thought, conscience and belief.   Some of these faces are heroes, others are villains, yet others represent people whose names and lives we barely know. These faces will touch your heart and your mind as you contemplate this first freedom.
